The yellowbird just caught can be lured by perilla, but it can't be fed for a long time, otherwise it will be overweight. Generally, millet, millet, barnyard grass and a small amount of perilla are mixed. When the yellowbird eats, it often picks perilla to eat, and all other seeds are picked out, resulting in waste. It is best to feed mixed powder. Corn, peanuts and perilla (3: 1: 1) can be ground into powder, and a small amount of sand is added, which is often given to leafy vegetables (Chinese cabbage, spinach, rape and purslane). In addition, eggs and millet are also fed, but some seeds of oil crops need to be fed in winter.
