your favorite feeder..

Well, this has been interesting for me.

I made up a batch of the food I give them which I'll list later and is, again, overkill, stirred it all up, weighed out 1 1/2 oz (still cheating you see) and boy was I amazed at just how much 1 1/2 oz feed looks like. It was more than I have been giving them. I couldn't believe it. So I have actually been feeding them the right amount and didn't even realize. The problem is they just don't eat it all.

Tomorrow they will get 1 oz only. I will continue to give Mr. Humphries an additional amount of Zupreem just because he deserves it for being handicapped and is such a good boy.

OK, this is what they got this morning: wild bird seed, parakeet seed, finch seed (which they love), Kaytee dove mix, pigeon grain with different kinds of peas, corn and different grains, Zupreem fruit blend pellets and Zupreem plain pellets, safflour seed, pigeon pellets, lentils, and split peas. I know I spoil them but I can't help it.......

Boy, they get quite a variety..........so, birds that aren't flying don't usually eat as much as the ones who fly every day and/or race..........this time of year, an ounce may be a tad too much...........have to play with it and see.
