Is it safe to catch wild birdsat the bird feeder and feedthem to my snakes?
Can the wild birds harm the snakes in anyway? Like disease or whatever. They seem to enjoy the birds so far. No I do not kill them first. I just toss them in with the snakes. It's kinda amusing watching them being caught. It is cheaper to feed the birds than buy "other'' stuff. I need to save money.
Provided you are not trapping and feeding illegal birds though I doubt there are many endangered species that you would be catching and feeding. The gastric juices in the snakes digestive tract is good enough to destroy most any bacteria/disease that a bird might have or carry. The biggest threat to a snake would be yard dirt that you might bring into the house and introduce to your snakes container. As I understand it you can use yard dirt after you put it in a pan and bake it in an oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes so to kill any parasites that might inhabit the dirt that might burrow it's way into the skin of the snake. Don't let those "squimish" tree huggers get under your skin. These are merely people who don't understand the cycle of life. If you weren't catching these birds to feed to your snake,there would be another snake out there in nature getting them anyway. Those same tree huggers need to know and understand that not all snakes eat mice.
