Many people have told me my birds need to be on a pellet diet. I know they are full of vitamins and all that jazz…but I feed mine seed. That is what they would find in the wild…I also provide fresh fruits and vegetables regularly. My birds are living healthily and happily. I just don’t see what the big deal is about pellets. Can someone please explain?

I have a ringneck dove. Is it okay to give him wild bird feed? Is it okay to give any pet bird wild bird feed?

I live in Fort Pierre, South Dakota, and I’ve been fascinated by birds for as long as I can remember. Recently, my grandfather and I built two plastic-bottle birdfeeders. We don’t usually see a lot of blue jays, but they *do* live in the area. I want to attract as many different species as possible. Will standard mixed bird feed work, or is there anything special to attract specific birds in the area? A few examples of some of the birds that I want to attract are blue jays, robins, chipping sparrows, other sparrows, finches, doves, and common grackles (locally known as “blue-headed blackbirds”). It doesn’t have to be just those species, though.
Anyway, an answer would really be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

They scare birds away like cardinals, red winged black birds and other smaller birds. What is the best approach to the situation? Would you suggest a different bird feeder or bird feed or even something else? Please help.

I am into exotic birds and am very well educated in many species care and such even flamingos I know what to do, and I even know exotic bird feed stores that sell the food mix for them, but for some reason I cant find a breeder
