====== What can I feed a meadow pipit in captivity? ======

Pipits are insect eaters. That means in captivity one should provide an insectivorous diet. We feed live mini mealworms and small defrosted wax worm pieces. Buffalo worms are also a good alternative. If the bird is in an outdoor aviary, he or she will also hunt naturally occurring insects, which can be encouraged by providing a dense natural vegetation. We also offer live small silent brown crickets. In addition to the live food specified above, we provide a dish with small amounts of a good insect eater food such as Prosecto Insectivorous from Haith’s or Beaphar Insect Food. All birds receive vitamin supplements with their daily drinking water.
