How Do I Benefit From The Waste And Leftover Food Of Ornamental Birds?

It is a question that seems somewhat strange, but we can actually benefit from bird droppings, their food scraps, and even from our organic food scraps, such as vegetable and fruit peels. It is a good organic fertilizer for our crops, especially cultured plants that are given to birds, and here is how.

How to make organic fertilizer from food scraps and ornamental bird droppings:

1: We take a vessel, preferably one that is no longer used.

2: Put dirt in it and add a little water until it becomes moist and consistent like dough.

3: We add bird droppings, their food remains, and also the remains of our organic household waste (vegetable and fruit peels).

4: We mix them well and cover the mixture with a sheet of glass or plastic. The important thing is that it be transparent, allowing sunlight to enter it, and we seal the container tightly.

5: We place it on the roof of the house and leave it for 10 days, then reopen it. You will find that it has a somewhat unpleasant odor and also contains some insects and worms. This is exactly what we want. We mix it well and cover it again. We repeat the process until the mixture becomes compact and black and all the elements are crumbled and decomposed. Now you can use it in your garden work or for plants in general.

How to germinate seeds and plants and present them to birds:

For potted plants for birds,

* We take (the dirt + the fertilizer we made), combine everything, mix it well, and place it in a bowl.

* We prepare the birds’ grains to be grown, and it is better for them to be a variety of one of the mixtures provided for the birds.

* Take two tablespoons and spread them over the dirt. Mix it in a little to get into the middle.

* We cover the bowl with a sieve mesh to avoid the birds eating it.

* We place the pot in a sunny place and water it every time. After 3 days, we notice the buds appearing. We take care of them until they grow. They are then picked and presented to the birds with happiness and recovery.

Benefits of sprouted grains for birds:

* It is very useful because it contains proteins, vitamins, and minerals that are important for our birds, especially the mating period and the period of production and mating, provided that it has passed the first week.

* It contains a lot of plant fibers that are beneficial to the digestive system of birds.

* It is beneficial and increases the fertility of birds because it contains many minerals and vitamins.

* It is given in specific doses once every two or three days, and thus we follow the method whenever we need it.
