For the Birds Radio Program: Feeding Jelly
Original Air Date: June 25, 2019
KAXE listener Florence Diane Stay asked Laura whether feeding jelly is okay for birds. Laura says no scientific studies have looked at this, but based on a lot of anecdotes, jelly seems perfectly fine to offer birds as long as it’s offered in small quantities. No scientific studies have investigated whether jelly with high fructose corn syrup is worse for birds than that made with sugar—Laura only buys jelly made with sugar.
