Wild Oats and Veldt grass? Im thinking of getting some of these in frozen form if the gouldians would eat them.

Can't comment on Veldt grass, but gould's love wild oats.

I give the birds hulled oats mixed with red pannicum and they seem to like that.
So it looks like an order for those will go through in the new year. I would like to order sooner but it would be just my luck the parcel would get stuck in the post over the holidays :whoa:

I feed frozen green Panicum to my goulds no problem and I imagine green oats would be OK too. All my birds love green rice so I'm sure that the large seeds of oats won't be a problem but dry mature oats may be a challenge.
