Thanks.  I did not know that any bird ate grass.  Back when we had a
house with a deck, we had a bird feeder.  It was filled with a mixture
of seeds and most songbirds liked it.  OTOH, robins stuck to the grass
area.  Maybe they ate grass?  I had always just assumed that they were
after bugs and worms.
