    1. Hi Marissa, the stuff in the feed is yellow flaked cooked Maize, the green is dried cooked Peas, the dark pieces are compressed veg protein, and the dried long brown grains are rolled cooked oats. Plus other minerals and vitamins. The oats are my addition. They thrive on a high protein feed in winter, I do not feed this in summer! Sends them loopy!
      The protein content runs at 18% which is high, but over here being very wet and windy most times, they need that extra.

    1. Yes there is a satisfying sound, I stand with them, not to make sure they eat!! but more for the pleasure that comes from each lip movement and the sense of purpose they have in eating.
