Hello
Im Anthony and i live in New Zealand.
My father and i are having a little argument. The guy loves animals and birds more than any other person i have meet.
And he loves to pander animals. Good on him i say but here this.
Now few days ago he put a dripping (AKA animal fat) out on a plate for the birds to eat.
The last few days about 12 birds at a time have been eating this animal fat.
He said the bird is called Wax-eye, A very small green bird.
Here is a picture.
Now i have said to my dad thats disgusting.
I am by no means an exspert on birds but i think its plain wrong to giv birds,
(That have eaten little bits of scrap they have found on the ground for hundreds of years) a huge hunk of fat to feast upon for a whole week.
IT MUST BE BAD FOR THEM!
He doesnt think its a big deal but i scared such a tiny little birds system cant handle such food.
I would like as many opinions as posible so we can find out whos right.
Is it wrong to feed them a huge hunk of fat or am i wrong and its ok?
I would like an opinion from any one but if any of you here deem your self as professionals please state it.
Thx for any replys in the future. I look forward to see what you guys think.
