I have 2 cockatiels and in order to save money, I have purchased a 25kg bag of cockatiel bird seed mix. This mix, I store in my garage until I refill a smaller plastic sealed container for use to fill my bird seed feeder which is in the cage. I am wondering now that I have found moths flying around inside the bag in the garage, is this harmful or poisonous to my cockatiels? Will it make them sick and how do I get rid of these moths so I don't waste my seed?

As an avid bird feeder from a time many years back, I remember early on thinking that come the summer time serving up a formula of no waste seed would make a lot of sense. If you decide to feed birds year 'round, than you will come to hate the mess they make in your yard, especially in summertime when its the growing season. And, especially if you feed your birds black oil sunflower. The discarded shells not only just continue to pile up, but its been proven that the very compounds that make up a black oil shell can be detrimental to the growth of flowers and other blooms. The idea at first that no waste bird seed would be a worthwhile investment seemed like a no brainer. Not only would it be cleaner but the birds wouldn't have to bother with opening the shell. It would be compared to being served all the lobster meat without having to bother with breaking open all those claws. Unfortunately this is definitely one of those cases where something sounded most plausible in theory, but was a total bust in actual practice. The first thing I learned was that birds don't really mind taking the time to break open all those shells. They can't. For they neither flocked too or consumed any heavier volume of shell less seed than they did the shelled version when I offered them both varieties side by side. In fact it was not all that uncommon to see a bird stop by the shell less seeds only to consume a couple and then defect to the regular seed with all the maintenance. Maybe they are so used to working a little for their seeds over the centuries that offering it to them straight up seems too unusual for them. The second observation is one I should have very well thought of, but unfortunately did not take into account. And that is that birds are the biggest slobs in all of the animal kingdom. Anyone that has ever owned a pair of parakeets or a canary in their house knows that all too well. Five dogs running around the...
