How Can Feeder Fresh Make Wild Bird Feeders Healthier?
Some of the most toxic compounds are created by molds. Even trace amounts of these mycotoxins can cause harmful or even lethal effects to birds. One example is Aflatoxin, which is a particularly harmful by-product of Aspergillus parasiticus mold, which grows on seed. Even amounts as low as 0.0001 mg can be lethal to small birds. The more times seed is exposed to moisture, the greater potential for Aflatoxin production. Feeder Fresh keeps the seed and feeder dry, keeps molds from forming, and thus reduces the chance of Aflatoxin and other mycotoxins. How it works Damp seeds often forms into moldy clumps, an unhealthy condition for birds and a cleaning headache for you. Feeder Fresh has a porous structure containing billions of microscopic holes that readily absorb water and humidity. This non-toxic, inert material does not swell, or clump. Non-toxic amorphous silicon dioxide crystals are extremely absorbant and keep moisture out of tube feeder. Once the Feeder Fresh absorbs its own weig
