[GenericBlue 0]

hi

WHAT THE .... you maybe thinking

well let me explain a bit

since i joined this forum i have written quiet often my feeding plan and what my birds get how often what days

and i want to look back at them all and i want to compair what ive written each time

 

here is where you come in handy if you come across a post where i have mentioned feeding and what i feed my birds

i would like you to please cut and past it in here

then im going to compair them all and try and see when and where my birds were healthier or worst for wear and what i was feeding at that time but i cant do this myself as im crappy at finding things why i come her and ask you guys

so anything you read that says my birds get or i feed my birds this

id love it if you could add it here for me

 

not just me telling people what they can feed birds only thread posts where i state i feed my birds ....

cheers gb

i really want to get a balance i been a bit lost lately and so many different thoughts i want to see what i myself have said but with my memory its hard to just recall past months or what i did few years back i want to go back to that as they were at their best then

mine is alot simpler

 

the breeders get fresh English spinach or silver beet

carrot cut in to a half dayly

corn once week

and a quarter peace orange dayly

the soft food is just boiled eggs for 10 minits grated carrot and weetbix mixed and crushed together shell and all

sometimes i great zicceni into it and give beetroot or grate it in to soft food at least three times a week if not more

they get pidgon vitamin mineral powder in finger draw with egg n bis kit dry in finger draw and

their iodine and calcium blocks

and cuttle fish and shells small seashells in fingerdraw

and fresh water daily

also hulled otes seperate dish and small parrot mix seperate dish with one bit horse chalf mixed into it

their seed is half finch half budgie breeders

also give one millet per day per couple and one in box soon as chicks turn two weeks old

Here is what you told me back on October 4, 2010. It's just the seed part, though, not a whole list of whatever else they were getting.

 

Mine get

 

The following this was even my pets

 

Small parrot mix

 

Hulled otes

 

Palanium seed (red)

 

Canary

 

And finch

 

With extra rape and niger

 

If i could give my birds hemp id be wrapped its not in outcanary mix

 

They get French white millet sprays also

 

So you see the more veriarty the better

 

If you feed these seeds sepearatly you don't get wastageas birds eat the certain seeds they want

 

And you will see they eat more of one or the other at certaintimes of the breeding cycle and feed chicks certain ones as they grow theones they eat will vary

Gb I don't know if this helps but I keep my vegies simple, They get peas, corn and carrot mainly every other week I grated beetroot and chuck in some broccoli and celery stalks and leaves. They get silverbeet all the time.and some parsley when it is growing in my back yard, none at the moment.

I also put a carrot on a large nail in a piece of wood and they eat that in know time, i throw in whole apples and they are gone in a night too.

For water my birds get normal drinking water 2 days a week and the other days they get Vetafarm Breeders Vit D three times a week to make up for the lack of sunlight they get and two days a week they get Vit B12 and Vetafarm tracmin.

In the aviary they have access to 3 different grits and seaweed meal (iodine).

Their soft food is as easy as, soaked groats (feeder oats), safflower and a little sunflower and budgie mix, all soaked and when washed and cleaned, soy bean meal (from the produce store) is added which is high in protein. To this I add 1 table spoon of seaweed meal to the breeding cages as they do not have free access. I am going to add whole egg powder when I get some. But with the oats and other seeds along with the soy bean meal. the protein the birds get is about 38 I think, it's pretty good anyway. and the soft food is as easy as. And whats unbelievable is even on the first day I started giving it to them they just go crazy over it.

This is the soft food that Geoff is giving his birds now, but he hasn't got the sunflower in it or the seaweed meal.
