| Re: baby birds
No, it's not a good idea to feed any birds dry bread especially young birds, if you do want to leave any out for them at a later date when the fledlings are older, it's best to soak it first or even put it in a saucer of water, if they eat too much when it's dry as Starlings especially are liable to do as they seem such greedy birds, they fill themselves up and it's very hard for them to digest it and then when they have a drink it swells up inside them and can even kill them,we don't even give our chickens too much as it has been known to kill even a bird of that size, crisp toast is the exception and doesn't seem to do them as much harm as they can't eat it in such big bits as they have to peck at it more |
