Animal & Bird Feeds

Animal feed is food given to domestic animals in the course of animal husbandry. There are two basic types, fodder and forage. Used alone, the word “feed” more often refers to fodder.

Bird food is food (often varieties of seeds, nuts, or dried fruits) eaten by birds. While most bird food is fed to commercial fowl, people also use bird food to feed pet birds or wild birds. The various types of bird food reflect the species of bird that can be fed, whether they are carnivores or nectar eating birds.
