Yes, the mourning doves here seem to find goodness in the wood ashes which we spread on the paths to woodpile and bird feeder.

Maybe also the turkeys which have recently been appearing on the place. Actually, they seem so excited by almost everything - corn, sunflower seed, tiny crabapples - can't be sure if the ashes are just accidental.

In the winter, we spread a bit of ashes from our wood stove on the garden (ashes being alkaline and our soil tends to be acidic). This morning, I watched a pair of blue jays pecking about in the patch of ashes. Only the jays seen doing this. Has anyone else seen this interesting behavior?
