I will go back to the raw oats that they also love and they do get fresh leafy greens and all the cherry tomatoes they can sneak off my vine when it grows too close to the fence!!! They love to eat garden plants for sure!

Why are they going to suffer by eating corn? 

My birds get corn products year round even when it was 100+ here.
