<p>TCLynx I am going to check the Big Box stores for such...I have some but need to check how much and how wide the hole spacing is. Will also probably check out Tractor Supply if I don't find something at the Big Box stores that works. Having it mailed from Farmtek will probably take longer than I am willing to wait.</p>
<p>Do you have any suggestions?</p>

<p>Now if I was in an open space as you are Carey, I would be grateful for such bounty for feeding the working dogs that I would keep. Hovever the reality is that my small Aquaponics Research Farm is located in waste space in a Commercial Urban center where I cannot keep such. The city / county requirements of planting trees every few feet has resulted in a natural home for these Barstewards who have no natural predators. That coupled with open large commercial trash cans where local restaurants and office kitchens dump uneaten food, create a natural oasis for such creatures. It will only be when there is an outbreak of some serious disease (as the case with pigeons), will the local government officials move of their b... to allow serious culling / elimination of such in urban areas.</p>
