i guess to make it easy for the readers, here's a site that kind of sums
up the toxicity and environmental problems due to styrofoam

also, if i recall, dr. hulda clark (cancer expert) has negative things
to say about styrofoam as to its toxicity

in summary, in answer to the original post, i think styrofoam is a
terrible choice for any component piece or adjoining piece to a bird
feeder, or on any exposed or painted surface of styrofoam birds or humans
may interact with, for reasons mentioned throughout my posts



Rosie is a nut and obviously has little scientific training. She mixes up
the toxicity of materials used in manufacture with the material itself.
From that standpoint, we should ban all petroleum products including
gasoline. Wonder how Rosie would like not having a car or anything made
of plastic and other materials derived from petroleum including her sun
glasses.


you lose lol


Your are right for once. I lost several minutes of wasted
time. Unfortunately for you, you are losing a life of
possible learning and knowledge. Go to college, take some
courses besides "Communications" or whatever other
frivolous name they use for training budding tv reporters in
everything except a real subject.

Oops, you are right again, I lost some more time. But then
I'm already retired from a successful career.
