Nothing is safe.

Here is a link to an Earth Island Institute blog on toxic insecticide-laden birdfeed being distributed http://www.earthisland.org/journal/index.php/elist/eListRead/feed_the_birds_organically/

and the resulting lawsuit settlement

?Part of the fine ? $500,000 ? will be evenly split among five groups and agencies to fund efforts to protect birds. They are Audubon Ohio, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Urban Forestry Program, Columbus Metro Parks, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Ohio Nature Conservancy.?
