Birds as food

[coreyweinkoetz]

Anyone know of any species of bird that wouldn't be safe to feed a corn snake or RTB OR anyother snake for that matter

Baby chicken maybe. But why not just feed it mice?

Aren't a lot of birds protected by laws in the U.S.?

Why feed birds to non arboreal snakes?

Oh Corn snakes climb. So do RTB's Miguel.

Corn snakes have been spotted in the wild feeding on birds plenty of times. It ads a little nutrion into their diet if you feed it once in a while.

I think he means ones that arent safe LOL

Well, ones that are protected species, and ones that may be sick are ones you should avoid.

Corns go after birds . I had a monk parrot nest in the yard and corn was up in the tree week or so .

Not sure if the birds were eaten or they left but nest is empty now (you can tell by lack of noise) .

Thank's jessica and it's for the extra calcium I was always told to feed chicks to females in early breeding but what I wanted to know was if theres any body feeding like parakeets or cockatiels I have fed zebra finches to problem feeding RTB before they love them
Also at least 1/3 of all birds nest on the ground
