Apple TV no longer controlling Fire TV

Hey all, my Apple TV has been running fine for years with my Amazon Fire TV , but yesterday something happened, and my Apple Remote no longer controls the power or volume on the TV. It used to do both over the HDMI connection.

I think there was an Amazon update to the tv, but nothing in the notes on that suggests anything about changing the controls.

Any ideas? I’ve reset both, swapped cables and made sure the remote is charged up. I’ve tried all of the audio control settings in the Apple TV and the fires TV.

Do mice taste chili?

Hey so I have a bird feeder, and I have been using Cole’s hot meats bird seed in it to stop rodents. That has worked for some, but I noticed that we are still getting some mice visiting. Do mice not taste chili, or have they just learned to like the taste?

Anything else I could try to feed the birds but keep the rodents off?

Restoring this metal cage

Hey all I am working on fixing up a wonderful 1970s budgie cage. Most of the plastic is fine, but the metal cage itself is a bit rusty. Any suggestions for restoring this metal to its former shine?
