The
millet sprays used are Chinese and Red Anjou. The Groats and Millet Sprays
are soaked in Vanodine over night then rinsed thoroughly and fed to the
birds still wet.
One tip I was given some years ago was that millet sprays
carry a degree of fungus which can spread disease through your birds quite
quickly hence the reason for soaking in Vanodine.
The only what I would
term extras I feed are Carrots and occasionally Sweetcorn and Spinach also
Salt and Iodine Blocks. I am a believer in Carrots and
my birds receive these two or three times a week I have yet to see any
left overs within the space of a couple of hours.
I am a firm believer in
that if it isn’t broke don’t fix it. To that end I don’t really
administer any preventative medicines although I do use a liquid vitamin
supplement in the water once a week. The water also comes straight from
the tap, if its good enough for me it is almost good enough for the birds.
