I have a bag of organic Bartlet pears I am dehydrating into thin slices.
I don't remember if it is 3 pounds or 5 pounds.
When these pears are dehydrated I want to put them out for the wildlife.
Will birds like them or will the dried pears be too hard?
I gave our dear some whole apples though they did not touch them. Will they like dried sliced pears?
The deer liked my sugar baby watermelons though they could not figure out how to eat them.
Besides deer and birds there are various animal that might like though which ones?

Most of the the animals that come out of our woods seem to prefer them. Coons, opossum, deer. Deer ate my only two pineapple pears behind my house a month ago. Coons and opossums cleaned up a 15 ft. tall tree that probably had 100 pears on it on our property in LA. Curious to see if a bird or squirrel would be as interested in something dehydrated. I can't imagine how sweet a pear smells to an animal that spends its days crawling through bottom land and backwoods. A true delicacy!
500 pears in one night is devastating. We don't get bears here but the badgers do a number on anything low enough for them to reach. Lost most of my ground-level strawberries to them last year, they just trample through and eat whatever they fancy.
