From August or September up to the month of December one can collect the ripe
fruits of the blackthorn
(Prunus spinosa). For serving the berries that are called sloes
to your birds hang up hole branches into the cage or aviary. If your
birds gnaw on
the wood they can get themselves some minerals from the bark. Berries
of the blackthorn taste best after being frozen once. They become
sweet from an exposure to temperatures below zero degrees.
Some birds do also like the flowers of the blackthorn.
