How much Cayenne on Bird Seed?

16 years ago

Thanks for the info on putting cayenne in the bird seed. Since I mix my own seed for each feeder, can anyone tell me how much pepper to mix in with the seed?

I'd use enough to make sure you have a little dusting on the seeds. I used to buy the large containers of it at Sam's. I suggest protecting yourself when mixing up a batch, too. You don't want to breathe in lots of the spice, or get it in your eyes. ;-(
