Oh, they'll know all right! They will eat them, husk and all. It's the single thing my 4 girls like the most. But I have been told not to give them too many as they are high in oil/fat content. I give a little each day, maybe 1 teaspoon each in a mixed wild bird seed. Not more than 6 sunflower seeds each.The scratch I give them at bedtime is cracked corn and wheat, still only about 1 tablepsoon each. During the hot summer I replace half of this with sultanas or raisins as I want to keep their body fat low in the hottest time. Sultanas are second only to sunflower seeds at "grab time".BOSS can be fed in the shell right? They sell it ehre in bulk, but I havent seen anything without the shell. I want to get some, but I dont know if my birds even know how to eat them!
I mainly throw "scratch" down for fun for them not because I think they need it. well they probably need it in the winter, but not now. IF I would throw their layer mash.crumble down, I am sure they would eat it, but I would be afraid of the waste. anyone have experience with just throwing down some of their layer crumble?
What do you mean by waste?
