Moll. 1,770 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Vary it for the poor beggers. Mine get mixed corn, chick crumbs, canary seed, wild bird seed and Garvo quail food. Make sure you give them greens they can demolish an ice berg lettuce in minutes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
