On going, should be finalised after spring breeding.

I've tried passwells finch soft food mix without any success of my birds eating it, have tried adding to egg and biscuit, leb cucumber as well as some greens and live food. Would be interested in your findings buzz and how you have managed to get them to eat it. Sorry buzz have never dealt with that product.

Well I guess you could say the trial is over, Considering the breeding season I would have to say inconclusive. 1 pair longtails 4 young on perch all healthy with live food and no mix, another pair 1 on perch went to nest again 4 on perch all healthy using this mix and no live food so I guess you could say it does work, but the spares went to nest in holding cage and hatched 3 with only seed and daily spouted seed mix so I guess I have to say inconclusive. If anyone does want to try it themselves I found once they got used to it they liked it better dampened down to a crumbly mix. So I guess the jury is still out on this one. I am trailing it as a grower mix for the young pheasant as I loose a few each year at around 1 to 3 weeks old unless copious quantities of live food is supplied.
Cheers Buzz
