Oven-fry meatballs for a crisp texture and shorter cooking time. Heat the oven to 425 F. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in an oven-safe, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until shimmering. Brown one side of the meatballs; then turn them in the pan using tongs.
In nature, finches eat a diet that mostly comprises seeds. This has led some keepers to believe that finches can thrive on just seeds, but such a limited diet is no more healthy for a finch than an all-cheese diet would be for a person.
What Do They Eat? Larval yellow perch commonly eat copepods, waterfleas, and other small crustaceans. Juveniles quickly begin to include bigger items such as aquatic insect larvae and larval fish. By the end of their first growing season, perch are including small fish, crayfish, leeches, and snails in their diet.
