Tesco value whole meal bread (crumbed)


Too much salt!

The birds rarely get any of my bread - I like it too much. Made with
strong wholemeal flour, shortening and yeast- sometimes water and less
frequently, milk.

Well they have been having that mix for almost 4 years and they are
thriving


How can you be sure they are the same birds?

Most birds are unable to get rid of excess salt, and the effects are
cumulative. That's why one is advised not to hang out ham rind.
