Canary feeding


My wife and myself gave our canary a budgie honey stick which our canary loves it, is there any problem with that?

We do give her other things such as apple which she loves and also we give her veggies and she has her seeds.


Answer:

Hi,

You would need to check with the manufacturer as to how much is OK for her. Some honey sticks are basically junk made with old seeds and sugar. She should be on a canary pellet, with a few seeds along with leafy greens, chopped veggies and a small amount of fruit.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
