Will the birds eat muesli?

[franco50]

I have nearly a full bag of muesli which I'm not going to use as I'd bought the wrong brand. Ratrher than just chuck it out, would the wild birds eat it if I spread some on the bird table?

[SheffieldLass]

Yes!

It's just human grade bird food after all

[faz]

[turkeyneck]

Yes they do, I've given them muesli, rightly or wrongly, they did prefer alpro to pasteurised though

Cheers, thanks for the replies.

As you probably guessed, they will be getting it dry and not in a bowl with milk!

l,ve given the birds muesli, who will take what they want, many people throw masses of food away of all types that the birds will be glad of, many birds and def pigeons will eat most things, unused cornflakes, most cereal foods, rice, pasta, crumbs,
Gulls and pigeons love fish and chips, usually seen circling above fish and chip shops and school grounds. Difference between life, starvation and death for some birds, little bit of help in hard times, making up for their natural food which we destroy en masse. And a pleasure to watch them feeding.

Some of these cereals contain too much salt.Not good for the Humans or wild life either.

Make sure there's no dried coconut in it.

I've put out muesli in the past and it's been devoured. I have to ask ~T~ though, what's wrong with dried coconut? Is it harmful in some way? I'd hate to put my feathered friends at risk feeding them dodgy stuff .

I read that it expands inside the bird or something.
