Ian C Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 We use corn and duck food (brown pellet things) that you can get through decent sized pet or agricultural supply shops. Mainly they eat grass and other things growing in the garden. Just patience should tame them, although our's were incubated by us so think they are part of the family. Try finding their favourite things to eat (our's like daisies or blackcurrants) and offer it to them in your hand or near to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
