I’ve been taking care of some baby birds (Sparrows to be exact) and I know they are naturally insectivorous. I’ve been feeding them moistened cat food and some crickets, and now that they’re getting older, I’d like to switch them to a food that woint spoil if I leave it out for them. I looked at all the adult bird foods, but the protein percent isn’t high enough. However, a package of Bearded Dragon pellet food I found has a very high protein percentage and seems safe for the birds to eat. Would this be a suitable diet, so long as I supplemented it with other seeds and fruits?
P.S. Please do not get all “legal” on me for keeping sparrows. If you do your research, they are not native species and I don’t need a permit to foster them. So if you don’t have something helpful to say, pick on someone else. I’ve had too many people bash me for not having a permit.
I found a food very suitable for insectivorous birds. I ordered it, it will come from Italy, and I no longer need any responses. It IS a house sparrow, and I DON’T need a permit. Thanks for not beleiving me once again. Trust me, I won’t be asking any more questions about my birds from now on sice everyone thinks I have no idea what I’m doing.
