I through out the meal worms .. Guess I never have hand fed my big birds for the very reason I like the skin on my hands.

I'm being sarcastic! I know. You don't expect that from me. Sorry to throw a curve ball like that.
I do it to maintain trust and to get them to eat meds directly from my hand easily.
Olivia had a softie break inside her and I needed to treat her with Ca and amoxicillin. It was super easy because she was accustomed to eating from my hand. She didn't even question the tablet or capsule. Just just took them and swallowed. MUCH less stressful for the bird and keeper alike.

That I can understand. I can pick them up to medicate..
My interent of this page is moving very slow

From you? Why never, of course. Nor from me.

Actually enjoy your sarcasm DL but I get to go play referee.
Taking a hatch I did 2 birds to the banty coop have a frizzle that starts pecking head so hard to kill a peep.. Sit there the 2 minutes to grab to frizzle sent to jail for day or so..

Raisins... They'll come in for raisins.

I've not tried raisins but BOSS is a big favorite. The 25 girls "share" a 5 oz cat food can of BOSS every morning. They'll fight each other for a seed but only a few will take them from my hand. Then there are those that are at my feet or up on the "feed room" half wall to the barn alley. They ask for a free sample before distribution. And some of them will call to me if they are in the nest box waiting on an egg. Others? I don't even try to give them any BOSS in the nest, they will bolt.

Okay never heard of the foods before and darndest but cannot find a ingredient list on the Boss foods for cats

Good morning Cafe.
Looks like I'm first in. Coffee is made.
Weather here a bit on the grey side but it isn't rainiing so by UK standards not to bad.
I'm looking into killing that petulant attention seeking brat that currently lives in my pocket and getting a phone that makes phone calls.

Good morning, Cafe', and thanks for the coffee. Cold but beautiful today. My body is still adjusting to the low temperatures. Even with multi layers yesterday I got chilled. Maybe I need to put on a little fat?

You and me both.
