pie-eater 377 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 They shit for England on the dry to so it cant be great for them. I feed mine mainly rabbit but if I cant get that pigeon dove corvid squirrel etc. If I run out of all that (which I always do at some point in the summer) I have to buy some chicken wings. 1 Quote Link to post
