Yes it does.

The fruits of Poison Ivy are grapelike clusters of tiny, white, pumpkin-like seeds with an off-white or pale yellow rind. The photo below was taken in mid-November and shows that the rind dries out and flakes off eventually. The fruits also contain urushiol, but that does not stop the birds from eating them! Flickers and other woodpeckers are fond of them, along with sapsuckers, thrushes, pheasants and quail. The rind provides food to the birds while the seeds usually pass on through their gut unharmed and, in this way , birds are the agent for dispersal of Poison Ivy seeds.

Question. I didn't go to Mikey's funeral. Personal problem there. Some of us just don't go. Did give a donation instead of buying flowers, the funeral home provides flowers.

Instead of sending a card I wrote the widow a letter. Wife said that was cheap and I thought it was personal. I did offer to pay for the funeral and help all I could. Am I a cheap SOB?
