Does anyone know or have you tried giving your finches cooked oatmeal?

I have quite a bit of Publix Old Fashioned Oats and was wondering if I can give some plain cooked ones to the finches.

The best way to get it to the birds is inside mealworms. Raising mealworms in uncooked oatmeal is way better than bran.

I agree with Charlie....serving cooked oatmeal is messy, it sticks to beaks, feathers and feet.

I always used to raise and keep the mealworms in oat bran until I read somewhere that too much of that is actually not good for finches and it's better to keep the worms in wheat bran. I wonder if that also applies to oatmeal not only oatbran. I'll try to find the information.

That's thE topic I remembered: http://www.finchforum.com/viewtopic.php ... 0b#p187718
