[allandean12]

hi i would like to ask a question that i find puzzleing all exhibition budgerigars have the same digestive system so why do breeders all feed differently surely all parts of diet ie protien carbs fats vits mins ect ect so is it the birds who require the diffentsy or the breeders like certain products i mean no offence to anybody i think its really interesting to ear others views all the best allan

Allan all exhibition birds have different feather and longer, wider feathers which needs more protein to grow them to maturity , often they carry more thicker down also needing more protein. I know we all have our own tried and tested feeding regime and may try a new product over an older used product but with the net and new research we know we need these extras to produce the finished product.
