Serinus Wild Birds Hand Feeding
- In stock, ready to ship
This diet is designed to manually raise chicks of species belonging to the finches family (goldfinches, greenfinches, linnets, finches...).
It simplifies the manual rearing process and ensures excellent chick growth.
Serinus porridges are complete foods. The birds obtain all the necessary nutrients to be able to develop with optimal health, excellent vigor, and excellent plumage quality.
To prepare the porridge, mix the product with warm water at a concentration of 20-25% (texture similar to a beaten yogurt). It is important to discard the excess porridge after each feeding, it should not be reused in the following meals.
The adequate amount of porridge to supply each chick depends on the capacity of its crop and its demand behavior. Feed small amounts of porridge repeatedly until the pigeons are satiated and stop asking.
During the first days of life, we recommend feeding the Passerine Crop Milk.
Store in a cool, dry place (it is possible to freeze the hermetically packed product, but it is not recommended to keep it in the fridge once opened).
Different birds prefer different seeds, with sunflower seeds being a top choice, attracting over 40 species, including finches and woodpeckers. For a diverse bird population, consider a mix of sunflower hearts, nyjer seeds for finches, suet pellets for winter energy, unsalted peanuts for tits and woodpeckers, and mealworms for insect-eating birds like robins. Providing a variety of bird food ensures a thriving garden filled with wild birds year-round.
Yes, birds can eat porridge oats, but they must be raw and uncooked. Cooked oats harden and can stick to birds' beaks, causing feeding difficulties. Instead, offer dry oats, which provide a valuable energy source, especially in colder months.
Birds typically feed early in the morning and again in the late afternoon. Keeping feeders stocked during these peak feeding times ensures birds receive the nourishment they need.
No, there is no law prohibiting bird feeding in UK gardens. However, it is important to feed birds responsibly to prevent attracting vermin or causing a nuisance to neighbors. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) provides guidelines on the best ways to feed birds, what food to offer, and when to provide it.
Birds regulate their food intake naturally, so they won’t overeat. However, avoid excessive food waste by monitoring how much food is consumed daily.
