Are Ты или your birds tired of bird seed? Here are some strange things Ты can put out for a special treat, and help get rid of leftovers.
1. Cookies- Birds Любовь печенье as much as people do! Just be sure that the печенье Ты leave them don't contain chocolate, because that is dangerous for them. Try oatmeal raisin, sugar, или other kinds of home-made или store-bought cookies.
2. Eggshells- Although it may not sound appetizing to us, they are an important calcium Источник for birds. Serve them crushed up, but be sure to boil them или cook them first to kill any salmonella.
3. Doughnuts- These yummy treats are a good Источник of fat for birds. Woodpeckers especially Любовь jelly-filled ones! I've found that putting them in a suet cage is a good way to serve them. Again, no chocolate.
4. Meat- Most birds are omnivores, so insects are a part of their diet. Most will eat raw meat as well. They like ground beef, I think because it looks a little like worms. They'll also eat cooked chicken (if that isn't disturbing to you).
5. Non-Traditional Nuts- Ты may be familiar with feeding Peanuts to birds, but they also enjoy almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, and most other nuts Ты can think of.
6. Noodles- Birds will eat leftover, cooked pasta. Just make sure it is the small kind, like orzo, cous cous, elbow, wagon wheel, etc. They might go for спагетти или Энджел hair макаронные изделия, макароны if it is chopped up into smaller pieces.
7. Dog Food- Dog Еда is a good protein Источник for birds, especially in the winter. It helps if Ты soak it in water first and lay it out on a cookie sheet. Blue jays Любовь it!
8. PB&J Sandwiches- Make an extra сэндвич, бутерброд for your birds Далее time! They Любовь арахис масло, сливочное масло and jelly, because they combine two great bird foods. Whole wheat или white bread, they don't care which.
9. Leftover Rice- If Ты have extra рис, райс around, Ты can put it in a hopper, tube, или tray feeder. Make sure it is cooked first, though. Uncooked рис, райс can be dangerous for birds to ingest.
10. Cheese- Cheese is another good calcium Источник for birds. They like any kinds, like mozzarella, cheddar, colby jack, bleu, etc. If Ты serve it in chunks, they'll still enjoy it.
