I live on the Mississippi coast and have had over 100 scaly-breasted munias at my feeders at a time. I like them!!!! So cute!!! The only seed they eat at my house is white proso millet, up to 50 lbs. a month. I get it at a feed store and it costs less than black oil sunflower seed. Here, they only feed from feeders with little roofs and on the ground, not on platform or tube feeders. In the spring they feed peacefully with indigo and painted buntings. No fighting. They also share with cardinals and house finches. In the winter the chipping sparrows drive most of the munias away. Hope this helps. Susan Epps
