that isn't a dumb question!Another dumb question regarding feed. After doing some reading it appears that peas,corn, wheat, and oats are the go to for feed. Is there anything special about bag feed? I work with field plots for my job, and we actually grow all of these. I'm thinking that I may be able to put together my own feed mix. Would that be right?
I would feed something like this. 40% wheat, 15% peas, 15% corn, 10% milo, 10% millet, 10% safflower. Oat groats are okay, but I don't think they are necessary.
I'm sorry. about the pigeon and the grackle. you did the best you could do for the grackle, so don't feel bad.Update: I called the wildlife center and they said the grackle passed a few hours after I had dropped it off. Seems that it had died of a head injury as well as being starved. The volunteers and staff there are top notch and had given him meds but he wasn't strong enough unfortunately. I did all I could but I still feel really upset about it. I guess I just need to mope about it for a little bit before moving on with my day haha.
