Re: [CT Birds] Yard record for Siskins
Interesting how the big leap in nyjer prices coincided with the siskin irruption.
Should have bought some stock in it!

Someone asked about siskins and when they will leave.
I have had 10-25 birds every day since Jan. 9th
I will post when they are gone, or I can't afford any more seed, to bad eruptions and a strong economy aren't correlated.

Boy, isn't that the truth! Here is what we have been told by our wholesale distributors. I have no idea how much is really true but I do know that our distributors are not making any money on it as most are now completely out of nyjer and have no real estimate of delivery time.

-problem started in Aug 08, high prices low demand led to
slow down leaving huge inventories
-importers stopped buying because of the large inventory
-in late 08 importers heard that the new crop prices would
be low so decided to wait till they needed it before they ordered
-incredible snow/ice/cold increased demand (double for this
time of year) (pine siskins in record numbers everywhere)
-huge inventory is gone
-transaction time from purchase (from India) to receipt by
distributors in the US is 90 days!!!
-relief is coming but not until April/early May
