Anyone have success breeding rfpf without livefood? Hearing mixed reviews, but I know a bloke who breeds his heavy pied rfpf without livefood at all - just a diet comprising of finch mix, sprouted seed mix, homemade egg food and all your other standard things

I am beginning to believe that what goes in the aviary is secondary to the consistency of it being fed.
If you feed live food it has to be daily etc, same with seeding grasses and soaked seed. Or at least in a regular pattern.
Only an observation not proven.

I recently had lost my whole fly colony to to hot day and had to reboot. as maggot rations were skimp i supplied lots of greens and extras for the birds. nonetheless my RFPF pair tossed their chick.

My 3 pairs of RFPF have only been getting dry seed with green seed once to twice a week over the last 3 months. All have produced offspring with 3-4 fledglings each.
They are in a large (2m x 6m) planted aviary so they can get naturally occurring live food.
