Interesting.
If given the preference most parrots will eat sunflower
seed to the exclusion of all other seeds, this can be quite bad for them, they
get fat and suffer various dietary deficiencies. It is thought that birds may
also actually get addicted to sunflower seed. Sunflower is high in
fats.
Benj
could not get my usual sunflower seed at
supermarket recently so bought the mixed milletty stuff and used it for a
while. One arvo my `friend' Rosella sat asking on the feeder tree, yet
the seed bowl was full. After minutes of deep and meaningful glances
from her conveying a preference i gave in and went out to put some (of the
recently acquired) sunflower seeds on a table nearby; she immediately came down
and gobbled away.
Perhaps she has one of those mickey
mouse degrees in Communications.
