Avian Nutrition - all you ever wanted to know

I couldn't link to the specific article, so scroll down to Chapter 3 - Nutrition.

This is for those who like in-depth information on feeding their flocks.  The article is geared towards feeding companion birds, but lots of this is general and applies to all avian species.  There is a chart of nutrient contents of foods sources, info on toxins, the importance of vitamins and trace minerals, enzyme inhibitors and lots more.

a good post I enjoyed reading it. I would like to add a couple other links as well that I've been reading and one that I'm still reading. This way is my computer ever crashes I can come back here to read again.
