Are 당신 또는 your birds tired of bird seed? Here are some strange things 당신 can put out for a special treat, and help get rid of leftovers.
1. Cookies- Birds 사랑 쿠키 as much as people do! Just be sure that the 쿠키 당신 leave them don't contain chocolate, because that is dangerous for them. Try oatmeal raisin, sugar, 또는 other kinds of home-made 또는 store-bought cookies.
2. Eggshells- Although it may not sound appetizing to us, they are an important calcium 출처 for birds. Serve them crushed up, but be sure to boil them 또는 cook them first to kill any salmonella.
3. Doughnuts- These yummy treats are a good 출처 of fat for birds. Woodpeckers especially 사랑 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- 당신 may be familiar with feeding 피너츠 to birds, but they also enjoy almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, and most other nuts 당신 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 스파게티 또는 앤젤 hair 파스타 if it is chopped up into smaller pieces.
7. Dog Food- Dog 음식 is a good protein 출처 for birds, especially in the winter. It helps if 당신 soak it in water first and lay it out on a cookie sheet. Blue jays 사랑 it!
8. PB&J Sandwiches- Make an extra 샌드위치 for your birds 다음 time! They 사랑 땅콩 버터 and jelly, because they combine two great bird foods. Whole wheat 또는 white bread, they don't care which.
9. Leftover Rice- If 당신 have extra 쌀 around, 당신 can put it in a hopper, tube, 또는 tray feeder. Make sure it is cooked first, though. Uncooked 쌀 can be dangerous for birds to ingest.
10. Cheese- Cheese is another good calcium 출처 for birds. They like any kinds, like mozzarella, cheddar, colby jack, bleu, etc. If 당신 serve it in chunks, they'll still enjoy it.
