Hi my good friends. I have sort of a silly question for you – I’m a little embarrassed but oh well. I kinda sorta went over to a buddy’s house, and he has a beautiful pet Euro Gold Finch. It is very lovely. His name is Frankie. Anyways, I was really hungry and I grabbed a handful of seeds, I thought they was sunflower seeds and ate ‘em. My buddy got real mad and told me that was Frankie’s food. He said it was real expensive. But now I’ve had a tummy ache since then, and I’m worried I might get real sick. Can anybody tell me what they put in the EGF prepped food they sell at pet stores?
Oh Jumping Bean, I am sorry to hear about your predicament, though your friend is right, unfortunately Gold Finch food is quite costly. I think you should be fine though – there's a couple unsavory ingredients in the bagged food, but nothing that should hurt you. Just drink lots of water, that should help get it out of your system.
Harumph. AddleCaged might be too timid to tell you what's in there, but I am not. Thought what ACS9483 told you is true, it is nothing too harmful. However you should probably know that after some reading up, I discovered that many of the EGF bird feeds include dried WORMS and INSECTS. This should dissuade you from any such foolish actions again!
