Has anyone thought about what they will do with their pets and animals that they may not be able to afford to feed?
The vision of animals of all sorts roaming the streets looking for food is rather disturbing to me.
In my area it would mean that the coyotes would be well fed for a period of time and possibly reproduce more of their own kind. After that....hungry coyotes, which is a threat in itself.

This is a reply to # 1,759,267Yeah just buy lots of that bagged food for them. I know it's not "healthy", but it's food. That stuff lasts for years. Canned stuff is the same. I ate a can of beans that had expired 4 years earlier. Not good, but food. Plus I put in tons of garlic. Probably enough to kill any bacteria. But anyway, stock up on food for your pets. Or else they'll be food for either animals or people. I've been feeding those wild ones too, if you get my drift. ;-)- Re: If Things Get Tough refreshed

This is a reply to # 1,765,022Dried cereals are about the only way to go in such a situation. I have many unwanted and rescued parrots that I have cared for through the years. I'm rather relieved to not be caring for any wild birds at this time. Normally someone drops off one or two that they find.
They almost need their own freezer to keep their food in because bird foods are notorious about being full of meal moths, which will destroy the whole lot of food. Freezing helps if the food can stay in the freezer but I have not found that it totally kills them.
It's just one of those things I'm going to have to work out. I may have to try freezing small amounts at a time and then use seal-a-meal pouches and see if that helps. Would be expensive to do but at least I can test a bag and see if it stays bug free before I invest in more....time being the biggest enemy right now.
I have thought about finding homes for many of them but I guess my concern is that I may be more prepared to care for them than someone who does not know to be prepared. I just know that when people go hungry and have no money....out the window the birds go. I have rescued many that people were threatening to do that very thing. They may be nice as pets but can become pests and do major damage to crops, trees or the outside of homes if they survive and mate.
For fun, some of my parrots who have beaks strong enough, enjoy chewing 2x4 wood into splinters. It keeps their beaks trimmed down. They could be worse than termites if they had their free choice of what to chew on.
Feeding the wild animals. Yep, I have been feeding the wild animals as well. Some on purpose and some not. Did not realize I had been feeding raccoons and attracting coyotes.
My concern about hungry coyotes came about a year or so ago when I came home to find one of my dogs eaten by coyotes in our own backyard that was fenced in. It made me more aware of just one more big challenge that we face. People with exotics will have the hardest time keeping their animals.
Thanks for your input....glad people are thinking ahead. The more people that can be prepared the less stressful all of this will be on everyone. :)Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,765,136Yeah I'm like you. I take all the pets people are going to kill or abandon. I had a one eyed cockatiel one time. He was my first or second best buddy. He lived on me.
You might want to try putting the seeds in the oven on low, maybe 125-150 and dry them out completely and hopefully kill any critters in it? Then like you said seal-a-meal it.
Also you can get dry ice, which is CO2 and put it in one of those wire strainers, and have the seeds in a bowl below it so the ice doesn't touch it. Then loosely put the lid over the container, so air can get out and let the ice melt. The CO2 will sink and eliminate all the air in the bowl. And the dry ice will kill anything living in there. Then seal it.
And another posibility is getting those oxygen packets and putting them in with the seeds and seal it. That way there will be no oxygen for the critters to live on. I had a video on that, but can't find it right now. But just throw one of those air packets into a plastic package with the seeds in it, squish all the air out of it by hand and then seal it. The oxygen packet will suck ALL the air out of the package and it will be so tight nothing could survive I would think.
Hopefully one of those method will work.
Good Luck Amigo!Advertisement
