In Reply to: HEMP SEEDS IN BIRD FOOD!!! posted by mattyb (Info) May 29, 2002 14:04:26 ET
LOL,
Hemp seed was used in bird food up until the mid 1930's here in the United States.
The bird seed variety of "Hemp" <all species of Cannabis contain Hemp fibers. That is Hemp, from all Cannabis.> The European variety was the most commonly used. Genetics made that change centuries ago. To spread across the Mongol Steepes into Russia. It was taller and thus more suited to outgrow the native grasses and also drw birds to help in its distribution. The CBD contained in this variety was akin to Hops. The family and pollen are very similar. Insuring Cannabis'survival.Every one know Russian hemp will give u a headache.
Not only bird see but a wildlife draw is what a stand of "hemp provides" The natural lure of the seeds brings in rabbit and squirrel as well as fowl. Having a stand of hemp on your land meant u never had to worry about what was for dinner. Turkeys love it especially. Any wonder why our National bird in America was almost 1? The Governor of Virgina included these findings in his Manuscript Good Husbandry Of The Land. circa 1700's early. The type used was Industrial hemp the larger variety as it provided a better fodder, not only for that reason, but the oils processed were usefull in everyday household items. Lighting and cooking, oil for machinery and heating as well.
So in short The C Sativa via Europe is the best type for bird food.
