NATIVE HARDBILLS
IN ADDITION to food and water, good health in our stock is assisted by suitable hygiene and housing. I touched on the need for clean water last week, but the need for cleanliness also applies to food. Obviously your seed and other foodstuffs need to be spotless, as do the receptacles that they are held in.
Most of my seed and eggfood is given inboth beneficial ones and possibly bad ones, so it is important to reduce transmission by avoiding any build-up of droppings in seed dishes and in the housing of our birds.
