That said it's pretty quiet of late anyhow. How do you find your seed mixes? I'm also looking for decent bulk supplies say 20/25kg at a time. Any recommendations? thnx If you Google entering "wild bird seed bulk" you'll get a tremendous range of choice. and then you have to decide which type of bird you want to feed. Feed the birds, 2p a bag" Mary Poppins Or there's the Bill Oddie range. ;-)) Most of the ones I glanced at had a range that did for different birds with other 'bolt on goodies' you can buy to add to the mix. I wouldn't bother with dried mealworms again, though. The birds here wouldn't touch them - the live ones OTOH caused a near-riot in the avian population! I wouldn't knowingly buy anything advertised by the little rotund up-his-own-backside grouch. Mealworms.. dried or live... do NOT get between a hen and her mealworms. If you do, you will swiftly find she reverts to her velociraptor ancestry and she will HAVE YOU. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...05300508-1.jpg Just be grateful she is not six-feet tall.. ;-) In the grounds of Chez Wafflycat the robins particularly love dried mealworms and when I chuck a few in the hen run for The Laydeez to scratch about for (it keeps them occupied for ages) there's a robin that hops down beside me and *demands* a share. It gets a share too |
