So I have come to notice the more birds you have the more food goes....Of course!! Well I was wondering about mixing my own food. My uncle used to breed canaries back in the day, he used to mix his own seed my dad told me. So is this mix good for everyday feeding?? For parakeets.

2 Parts White Millet

3 Parts canary seed

1 Part Hemp Seed (if avbl)

1/2 Oat Groat

 

Also for molting and conditioning what should I add?? My dad also told me that he used to boil eggs and smush them up including the shells and feed it to the female canaries when they were breeding. Could this method be used for budgies??

Thanks, Have an Awesome day,

Jaime

In our food and nutrition forum there is seed blends listed under the recipe topic. A lot of us budgie owners feed boiled mashed egg too. Take a look in that topic

That is where I got that seed mix from. I read through that forum earlier today. Just was wondering if tha was just treat material or if I could feed that everyday. Thanks Again. That forum has lots of interesting treat ideas too. Very Helpful!!
