Debby Tutton Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Is it safe to give my girls one of those balls of bird seed that you see in shops for wild birds. They look so appetising (from a birdie point of view) but I won't get one unless I am sure they will be okay. Does anyone know of any reason I shouldn't give them one ?

Torrin Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I believe these are made with fat which is not good for chooks, but I think you can get some made with honey which are ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debby Tutton Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yes I think you are right they are made with fat, I have not seen the ones made with honey perhaps coz I wasn't looking. I will now though. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennydavies Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi Debby, I think all of the treats made for parrots/cage birds have honey instead of fat. Jenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Why not get them a pecka block, they love those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickyhazel Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 But make sure the block is good quality or it will crumble and fall apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 That's true. Those pecka blocks are hard as nails and take them ages to get through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
