Best food type for canary and amount.


Hi,I’m interested in buying a canary and I’m more orientated on feeding the granules due the size.
What’s your opinion please and how much amount every day for 1 canary?
Thanks and best regards.


Answer:

Hi Colin,

The amount of food a bird needs each day varies greatly by individual due to activity & individual metabolism. When feeding pellets or granules, you can just make sure your bird always has some available in his cup. He isn’t going to eat too much because birds eat to meet their nutritional needs, and the pellets and granules are nutritionally balanced. You can also offer greens, chopped veggies and some canaries will eat a protein source as a treat, such as dried or live meal worms or other insect diet made for pet birds.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
