Just curious to know what others spend on feed

How many birds do you have?
What is their normal diet?
How much do you usually spend on it?

I have 10 birds, they get fresh (free) produce weekly and layer feed. I spent about $30 a month.

I have 10 birds and layer feed is about 15 dollars for 50 pounds, scratch is similar.

I spend about 40 dollars a month feeding them.
I give them oatmeal and kitchen treats too. Nothing icky or rotten for them at all. I actually buy specially for them.
I steam broccoli for them since they like it cooked better than raw. In the summer I get them watermelons and cantalope as well as fresh corn on the cob.
The 40 a month is including these items.
