major OIE List A diseases of concern; Avian Influenza (H5N1), Newcastle Disease, and when used in the recommended dosage is also safe in the drinking water. See packaging for details. (Copyright © 2011 DuPont.)
Seeding grasses: Seeding grasses such as wild oat, rye grass or green millets should be offered when available and are eagerly taken Seeding grasses can be collected from a known clean source or home grown picked and stored in the freezer until needed. When feeding direct from freezer rinse under hot tap before feeding. I keep my limited supplies for feeding parents.
Live food: When breeding, live food in the form of mini mealworms is relished along with frozen Pinkies. During the breeding season live food is
of great importance. Successful Australian breeders utilise mealworms and/or termites, vinegar flies and bush fly larvae.
I have found that Crimsons will take live
food at any time but a good indicator that the young have hatched is the increase in tameness waiting to be fed in fact this is a main indicator for establishing the progress of a nesting pair. Due to their secretive breeding nature when kept in flights it is important always to ensure a supply of live food is available in case a pair are about to hatch eggs unknown to the aviculturist.
