I realize I'm too late for this year, but I recommend getting in touch with your local fish market, drying out the carcasses, blitzing them up, and adding to corn and sunflower seeds. Truth is, aside from newly hatched birds, they probably won't keel over and die after a week of only corn...

The OG post in the thread breaks it down quite effectively.

That's what I meant by any animal. Dogs, cats, whatever. As long as a I own the animal and need to feed it, it may not be fed grain products, even by someone else, because it monetarily benefits the me to not have to feed my animal as much.
