Is it unhealthy.....

for wild birds (wrens, sparrows, finches, doves, jays, grackles, and kingbirds) to eat chicken primarily chicken scratch? I also use a fruity and berry type mix that the jays enjoy. I am trying to reduce expenses and enjoy feeding the birds. They are conditioned to daily feeding and fresh water. I don't want to hurt them, but am considering the food a place to find a few extra dollars. Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,
Linda

I will post this again on another forum in hopes it doesn't violate some TOS.
