fireman 11,463 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I feed all my birds on countrywide greenfinch mix with a british finch mix added,i add the british mix as it has smaller seeds for the goldies and redpolls as well as the bigger ones they will eat but i just give them extra variety,i do not worry about the hemp seeds and sometimes add my own as well as extra salflower sunflower hearts and buckwheat seeds,i don't worry about the hemp as all mine are outside in flights and it really only affects cage kept birds as it's a very fattening seed and to much will cause either gapes or the bird to turn black in some cases.If i can't get the countrywide mix i make my own up with a british mix as it's base and add the extra's i've mentioned and i've never had over weight issues with it,i have the large one litre hanging feeders and give them as much wild food as i can and not a fatty amoung them .. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
