How do I plant sunflowers for dove?
549268
i did the same thing about 5 years ago, but since then i have upgraded to a 2 row planter and a boom sprayer for my planting.\n\nyour major problem is going to be weeds.  use treflan (trifluralin generic) or prowl.  it's about 50 bucks for 2.5 gallons.  that's enough for about 8-12 acres.\n\nif there is any way you can spray the herbicide on the ground before you disk it up, i strongly suggest you do that.\n\nas far as your seeding rate goes for broadcasting, i would think that 100 lbs is a bit on the light side for 5 acres.  when you disk those seeds in, some will be too deep to emerge, some will be on the surface, etc so you loose alot of seed.  \n\nis this planting seed, or is it bird food seed?\n\nemail me for more info or links, i've been planting a dove field for a few years.

They fly and land a lot like pigeons, so I don't think they have a distinctive flight pattern.  At least, not distinctive enough to notice.  It's probably more that it's easy to spot a dove in flight (because it's white) rather than the way it flies.

just keep watering them, and they will grow on their own\n  ( please read with sarcasm)

The family Asteraceae or, alternatively, family Compositae, known as the aster, daisy or sunflower family, is a taxon of dicotyledonous flowering plants. The family name is derived from the genus Aster and refers to the star-shaped flower head of its members, typified well by the daisy. The Asteraceae is the second largest family in the Division Magnoliophyta, with some 1,100 genera and over 20,000 recognized species. Only the orchid family (Orchidaceae) is larger, with about 25,000 described species.\n\nPlants belonging to the Asteraceae share all the following characteristics (Judd et al., 1999). None of these traits, taken separately, can be considered synapomorphic.\n\n    * Inflorescence: a capitulum or flower head\n    * Syngenesious anthers, i.e. with the stamens fused together at their edges by the anthers, forming a tube\n    * Ovary with basal arrangement of the ovules\n    * Ovules one per ovary\n    * Pappus (a tuft of hairs on a fruit)\n    * The fruit is an achene\n    * Sesquiterpenes present in the essential oils, but iridoids lacking.\n\nA typical Asteraceae flower head (here Bidens torta) showing the individual flowers\nEnlarge\nA typical Asteraceae flower head (here Bidens torta) showing the individual flowers\n\nThe most common characteristic of all these plants is an inflorescence or flower head; a densely packed cluster of many small, individual flowers, usually called florets (meaning "small flowers").\n\nPlants in the family Asteraceae typically have one or both of two kinds of florets. The outer perimeter of a flower head like that of a sunflower is composed of florets possessing a long strap-like petal, termed a ligule; these are the ray florets. The inner portion of the flower head (or disc) is composed of small flowers with tubular corollas; these are the disc florets. The composition of asteraceous inflorescences varies from all ray flowers (like dandelions, genus Taraxacum) to all disc flowers (like pineapple weeds).\n\nThe composite nature of the inflorescences of these plants led early taxonomists to call this family the Compositae. Although the rules governing naming conventions for plant families state that the name should come from the type genus, in this case Aster and thus Asteraceae. However, the long prevailing name Compositae is also authorized as an alternative family name.\n\nThe numerous genera are divided into about 13 tribes. Only one of these, Lactuceae, is considered distinct enough to be a subfamily (subfamily Cichorioideae); the remainer, which are mostly overlapping, are put in the subfamily Asteroideae.

get her an orchid-they are unusual,beautiful,and most people never think of them-i received an orchid once-and it was very special to me,anyone can do roses or daisys,carnations,the list goes on and on,but an orchis is most over-looked-you will have to go to a florist to get one though-lol

There are wild pigeons; they are called rock doves, though I sometimes think 'concrete doves' would be a better name.

I think the little flower seed packets that you can get at the dollar stores.  You can get like 10 little packs for $1.00, tie ribbon around it with a little note that says something like plant these seeds in your garden and remember us when you see the beautiful flowers.  it probably needs to sound more poetic, but  sorry i am not a poet.    hope this idea helps, and congrats

You Gotta Be Kidding Me Buddy...\n\nWinter is not an easy time for birds. Not all of them are genetically programmed to head south for the duration. Imagine if you had to stay outside in freezing weather the entire winter! A bird-friendly habitat may make the difference to their survival.\n\nThe birds that visit your neighborhood vary with the seasons-not only the species, but also the individuals. Some species, such as downy woodpeckers, may be year-round residents. Others-dark-eyed juncos and ruddy ducks for example, are winter visitors. You will see hummingbirds only from late spring until early fall. Species such as rose-breasted grosbeaks may visit only during spring and fall migration. Robins may migrate only a few miles, and return temporarily if the weather becomes milder.\n\nMany birds flock together for survival in the winter. The ones that seem to be most noticeable are starlings and crows. Starlings may gather by the thousands. Once they have flocked, breaking up the flock may mean death to many of its members. Practice and teach tolerance. The most effective way to prevent flocking is to change the habitat, but this should be done in the warm season.\n\nglycerin and antifreeze will kill birds!!!

Peep peep peep peep. If that did not work then I would use bread crumbs or maybe sunflower seeds(unsalted of course) and if that didn't work then I would move on to cows!

Blow on a dandelion seed puff and make a wish. Then say:\n\n"Dandelion, puffs away,\nMake my wish come true some day."\n\nIf you blow all the seeds off in one breath your wish will come true.
