December 16, 200816 yr There was a thread with all safe and unsafe plants that KAZ did... maybe check that out... http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....showtopic=23616 Basically if it's not toxic they can eat it...
December 16, 200816 yr Also check out the FAQ about nutrition and the ratios of what should be what in their diet. And looking through the Food and Nutriition forum is another excellent way to gain more knowledge .
December 17, 200816 yr You have been given great advice ... Also there is a section in the Food & Nutrition that has members recipes ... But like Kaz said keep those Hanging seed bells, stick etc as a "special treat" most one from the store say they have honey in them .... BUT I have Found some breeders and people that sell them at the markets and etc use GLUE in them to stick the seeds together ... ( there is a recipe in here too on how to make your own HONEY AND GLUE FREE Hanging stick ) Welcome by the way ... :hi: Hope you find your stay here fun and enjoyable ....
December 17, 200816 yr With the Honey sticks yes some people use Glue to stick them together and this causes nose or cere bleeds in birds (I have one that looks at a honey stick and gets a nose bleed) So I would make your own check and double check the product, most that list themselves as organic I have found work the best or I just make my own not that hard and if you have pet birds I let them play on the bench while I am making it and they clean up the split seed!
December 17, 200816 yr i know its horrible isnt it the bird bells and wild bird feeders are made with pva as well!
