How can Feeder FreshTM make wild bird feeders healthier?
You may know that some of the most toxic compounds on earth 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 parasititicus mold which grows on seed. Even amounts as low as 0.0001 mg can be lethal to small birds. The more time seeds are exposed to moisture, the greater potential for Aflatoxin production. Feeder FreshTM keeps the seed and feeder dry, keeps molds from forming, and thus reduces the chance of Aflatoxin and other mycotoxins. It is common wisdom that birds will avoid moldy seed, but studies show that birds do not always avoid seed even when contaminated by mycotoxin levels that could cause harm. Better to avoid mold from the start by using Feeder FreshTM to keep feeders fresh and dry.
