Eating Rice at Feeder

Viewed 14 Times

Most of the feeders we visited while in Panama put out two kinds of food – bananas and rice.  In fact one private homeowner that invites Red Hill Tours to bring clients to view their feeders said that last year they purchased one TON of rice and two TONS of bananas to keep their feeders full.  This is the first place I can recall where cooked rice was use as bird feed.  Here you can see a Red-crowned Ant-tanager with a beakfull of rice.
