Some of the most toxic compounds are created by molds. Even trace amounts of these mycotoxins can cause harmful or even lethal effects to birds. One example is Aflatoxin, which is a particularly harmful by-product of Aspergillus parasiticus mold, which grows on seed.
Even amounts as low as 0.0001 mg can be lethal to small birds. The more times seed is exposed to moisture, the greater potential for Aflatoxin production. Feeder Fresh keeps the seed and feeder dry, keeps molds from forming, and thus reduces the chance of Aflatoxin and other mycotoxins.
How it works Damp seeds often forms into moldy clumps, an unhealthy condition for birds and a cleaning headache for you. Feeder Fresh has a porous structure containing billions of microscopic holes that readily absorb water and humidity. This non-toxic, inert material does not swell, or clump.
Non-toxic amorphous silicon dioxide crystals are extremely absorbant and keep moisture out of tube feeder. Once the Feeder Fresh absorbs its own ... more.
You may know that some of the most toxic compounds on earth are created by molds. Even trace amounts of these mycotoxins can cause harmful or even lethal effects to birds. One example is Aflatoxin which is a particularly harmful by-product of Aspergillus parasititicus mold which grows on seed.

It is common wisdom that birds will avoid moldy seed, but studies show that birds do not always avoid seed even when contaminated by mycotoxin levels that could cause harm. Better to avoid mold from the start by using Feeder FreshTM to keep feeders fresh and dry. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
