As most people here know, I'm not a pellet feeder to my birds....I am a BIG believer in feeding FRESH veggies/fruits and I give my birds bridy bread in the evening....I have been doing this for years....I also have elimenated seeds also....but I do sprouts/legumes/grains....flowers...
FRESH (not frozen) doesn't spoil..it dries out during the day...(yes I have / do give frozen veggies when I need to)
I also use Cinn./Cayenne/Hot Peppers/Ginger in their foods and what ever herbs I can get my hands on....Before I moved, I was using a lot of wild plants from my yard also....
They get their wet food in the AM ....all cut to the size of my thumbnail...a bird will only eat a couple of bites out of each food....I have very little food left when I feed at night (4PM)....the fresh is emptied and the birdy bread is fed...here again cut to the size of my thumb nail...
