Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Bought a seed bell from Klondyke for my girls' Christmas and they loved it. They've only just finished it this morning so it's lasted well and it's so entertaining watching them trying to peck it when it's down to the last inch or two . They look like they're being hypnotised while they work out when to lunge with a peck! (I did take some video but it would probably be a bit like watching other people's holiday video - not terribly exciting unless you were there .) Anyway, for entertainment value/boredom busting - it was a hit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iChicken Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Was it a wild bird seed bell? I bought ours a peckablock and they have only shown a passing interest. At the rate they are eating it will last until next Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I bought three Johnson's little bird seed bells as a christmas present, I hung them up on Christmas eve after they had gone to bed by the time I went to let them out to freerange christmas day lunchtime all three bells had disappeared I happened to read the packaging from the bells and realised I had bought budgie seed bells so don't buy those because they disappear in 4 hours Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 Here's the video. Sorry it's a bit fuzzy - it was taken through the kitchen window. Check out the way Molly (black hen) quickly works out that she can let the other two do all the work and just wait to pounce on the fallen seeds . http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff181/Vvicki/?action=view¤t=Picture016.flv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Was it a wild bird seed bell? I bought ours a peckablock and they have only shown a passing interest. At the rate they are eating it will last until next Christmas. or mine and I bought 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I bought a peckablock for mine and they didn't touch it for weeks. When they were confined to the run for a few days as I was away at work, they started on it. It still lasted a couple of weeks though.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 This is what I bought my girls: ~ seed bell ~ Edit: eek . I've just noticed the word "suet" on the description . Should I not have given them it? (Although it certainly didn't seem at all fatty ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I bought one like that recently for my girls, but it was stuck together with honey, perhaps you could try that next time instead of the suet, I posted a link a week or two ago. I never thought of having it hanging like that though Mine was fixed onto the side, it lasted the 6 of them a week. Will have to have it dangling free next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Do you buy the honey bells for budgies and canaries or the bigger ones for parrots. Can chickens manage the big sunflower seeds in the parrot ones? Also can chickens eat nuts? Love the video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
