Aussie Finch Forum

Just realized how addicted I am to this forum and the birds......Im sat at my desk peeling eggs for the birds while reading the posts

Supposed to be working. Good thing none of my colleagues can see my screen...

I thought I was bad sitting at computer mashing the eggs with a fork ....not so crazy after all

I was sitting here while examining a finch last year!
finch made it, surprisingly, was quite absorbed by posts

Is it egg mashing day or what....thats what I have just been doing pushing eggs through a siv and getting my boy to mix in the insecatavore mix.. I got this one started early he is my last hope......Pete

Must have too small a sieve I make a heck of a mess when I sieve my eggs ...

Good luck Poitta , I lucked out with my kids , they did it up until puberty then they just lost it Grandkids are my best bet now though at their ages 5 ,3 ,1 the poor birds wouldnt stand a chance .

i found the bigger wire ones the best , a lot stronger than the plastic its about 15 to 16 cm across...pete

I've got a little OSCAR it's like a miniature chopper/blender. It can even do small quantity mixes (1 egg) and sits on the bench all the time for all sorts of general cooking chopping/ blending also has attachments like a full sized blender. You can sometimes pick them up from garage sales or swap meets and they are very reasonably priced.

I use the garlic crusher, its a bit on the small size, the eggs have to be quartered to fit in but its better than the price of the potato ricers. It makes nice little wormy eggs. Not too messy either.
