Question 1

How much do you feed a day?

Accepted Answer

I have a large feeder that holds about 1/2 cup for all four finches. It lasts about a week, but it is important to check it each day for droppings and husks. Sometimes there is an inch or more of husks! If there a lot of droppings, I dump the whole thing, clean the container, and add clean seed. Something else I do is mix in a small amount of the excelleny Gold Patee Canary Moist Eggfood, available here on Amazon, once or twice a week. It is very rich and they'll pig out on it otherwise. I also sprinkle some Zupreem Fruit Blenf pellets (extra small for canary/finch) on alternate days a treat. As you know, finches shouldn't exclusively eat seed, though Kaytee is the gold standard! They also need ground hard-boiled egg, crushed eggshell, and dark greens. Also other veggies and fruits (look up what's safe). Mine don't eat greens so well. They also love soaked seed, which should be sprouted, but mine won't eat sprouts, either! It's still healthier than dry. Finally, I mix cornbread with dried greens, dry supplements and l-theanine if they are feather-plucking or fighting. Sorry, TMI and you probably already know this. I clean the cages every other day with a water/vinegar mix and bath them once a week with the same stuff. They love it! It is very important to change the water daily.

Question 2

will my canary eat it all even the green and red things? My canary seems to dont like those colorful things with the food I give her now.

Question 3

can I feed this to my parakeet?

Accepted Answer

This is the canary and finch food. The seeds are much smaller. You need the kaytee parakeet food.

Question 4

Is there already shelled seed

Accepted Answer

No, I believe for freshness,  the bird or birds have to shell the seeds.  My canaries love this mixture and it has been very fresh.  I only wish it  came in a larger bag.  This is a 2 lb bag and if you have mulitple birds.. They eat it fast.   Love the product.  Cheryl
