I thought I would put my 2 cents worth in mate.
What you have to understand is that Fat releases 2 1/4 times more caloric
energy than equal weight of proteins or carbohydrates.
If you feed your birds a high fat ratio they will have the energy to go up
higher and stay up longer.
corn has 3.9%, oats 4.6, canary 5.5 , soy 17.5, sunflower 32.3, linseed
36.5, rape 38.5.
The low fat grains are:
Polished rice .4, maple peas 1.1, wheat 1.8, barley 1.9, Milo 2.9 and millet
3.3?
This is the stuff I play around with as its all protein.
I shall be always trying something out and looking for more info on the net.
I hope you got something out of my line of thinking !!!
