I just realized it could be a possibility to make my own seed mix for my cockatiel, Is this a possibility? This way I can ensure he's getting the right food.
If I did end up doing this, what should I put in it? Here's a list of the seeds on the packages I'm feeding.
White porso
Safflower,
Canary seed
Sunflower, (I take it out and use it for treats)
Oat groats
buckwheat
raisins,
carrot,
papaya
spinach
safflower oil
soy flour,
Vitamin E supplement
zinc oxide,
ferrous sulfate
calcium carbonate
niacin
vitamin A acetate
copper sulfate
ascorbic acid,
sodium chloride
thiamine mononitrate
Vitamin D3 supplement
riboflavin
pyridoxine
hydrochloride
folic acid
calcium pantothenate
vitamin B12 supplement
inositol
potassium chloride
magnesium oxide
dicalcium phosphate
choline chloride
ethylenediamine dihydriodide
Oh MAN that was long. I could delete some of that for space, but it took so long I don't want to. I think the only actual seeds in it are safflower, canary seed, buckwheat, oat groats, and white proso. Is that all I would need to add in my own? anything else? I don't know half of the other things, are they just stuff in the seeds or something?
Does anyone else make their own?
