Boiled vs Scrambled egg?
Just wondering - is there some reason NOT to just beat up your eggs and pan-fry 'em instead of having to boil them and then mash them before offering to the birds?
Not adding any milk of course. In a non-stick pan it would require little or no oil. Then they're pre-mashed and all mixed up.

Turn towards home, and go there. Many overs, over woods and fields, streams and hills, many overs. Just turn towards home. How else would one go there? Perhaps it was a dream, and you have awakened from it. May the earth rise up beneath you, with home in your heart, and your person waiting.

I think some people scramble the eggs and cook them in the microwave.
Frying in a frying pan, usually entails some form of grease, and that's where the problem comes in.

Yet people put oil in eggbread and other mixes - more oil than would be needed to fry a scramble (in a nonstick pan, anyway) ... Obviously you wouldn't use bacon grease for this, LOL!
They do eat lard in winter. Maybe a pat of manteca to fry the eggs?

BIRDS! LOL! Wild finches and nearly all songbirds as far as I know, plus others. Woodpeckers. Jays. ad infinitum.
You know. When birds eat it they call it "suet".

Re: Boiled vs Scrambled egg?
I feed suet year round and all birds love it.
I wouldn't think the oil would be a problem. The texture and ability to freeze and store leftovers may be an issue though.
Try it and let us know how it goes.

Re: Boiled vs Scrambled egg?
I've fed fried eggs when I was in a hurry and didn't have time to boil them. I can't imagine that the birds know the difference. I'm not sure about using Hollandaise sauce, though (LOL)
Also, we all feed our birds some oil seeds (rape seed which is Canola, sunflower, nyger, flax etc. So a little bit of oil for frying an egg isn't a new food.

Re: Boiled vs Scrambled egg?
Outside birds are the ones that need suet. A couple times I offed the birds in the outside aviary suet when it got extremely cold but not as a daily diet.

Re: Boiled vs Scrambled egg?
Friends who have parrots often share their scrambled egg breakfast with a companion bird. If it is OK for parrots, I think it would be OK for finches.

No, I don't feed suet to indoor birds. I'm just saying that a bit of oil - not scads of it, not a great big block like we give outdoor birds in winter - is not something birds wouldn't normally eat.
As Dave noted, we feed oily seeds. A tiny bit of oil to get an egg scramble cooked doesn't strike me as abnormal.
Microwaving MIGHT be better but I had a pretty awful result trying to do that in the long ago time when microwaves were new. Spattered egg all over. Have never tried it again.
My thought is that I can whip up some breakfast eggs for myself and "share" just a little bit with my two guys. If they won't eat it, its not much wasted (and so far they continue to reject any food that is wet).
But doing this with boiled eggs for just my two guys would be a waste even if they WOULD eat it. Personally I won't eat boiled eggs either. I'm entirely sympathetic to their take on boiled eggs, LOL!

Re: Boiled vs Scrambled egg?
I do a scramble most of the time, no oils. I use boiled eggs rarely because I use a different type of feed thst has most nutrients from eggs already.

Hah haha hahhhh...
So it's you that have a thing about the boiled eggs, not the birds at all.
You probably offer the HD egg, making funny faces at them , and telling them how yucky they are eh?

I'M INNOCENT!! INNOCENT, I tell ya!
No honest! I think their salad is yucky too, but I don't tell THEM that!
Really, they just seem to hate anything too wet. I have yet to find a single fruit that they will do more than peck at a few times.
I actually don't hold out much hope that they'll eat the eggs scrambled either, but at least I won't be wasting much in the ongoing attempt.
