I checked my mail very quickly this A. M. didn't really pay attention to
what I was reading. Then when I came back to my deleted msg.. this P. M. I
realized I goofed. Asking if you can eat aviary seeds. I was not awake
this A. M. of course you can. I don't know what I thought that I read the
first time. I sure didn't read it as aviary.
I'm sure you need to look up the individual seeds separately and then
calculate in the proportion of the mix. I have a decent nutrition reference
I'll see what I can find.
