FINCHforum

Hello all, I am a first time bird "owner" and new to this forum. I've had my green singer for 2 years now. I feed him canary seed, nyjer, hemp, millet, etc. Plus some of those tonic seeds such as chicory, lettuce seed. He also gets egg, insects, veg, etc etc etc. I pretty much try to offer him everything I can find that's safe for birds, and let him choose.
My question is that I recently bought this abbaseed 3800 for siskins or carduelans or something, because it has interesting seeds in it. But now I noticed it has beef things in it. So now I am afraid to give it. Is it safe?
Of course my green singer will have his other foods available if he doesn't like this new blend. I'm just not sure if it's ok to let him pick through this mix. Will he simply eat what he wants? Or can he get sick on the beef?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I always keep a dish of abba 3800 in my mixed aviary for my european goldfinch, but the other birds eat it sometimes too. They aren't eating all of the seeds so once in a while I have to throw out the rest and refill the dish. (For example none of them eat the big sunflower seeds, they are always left over.)

I believe that a lot of pellets and enhanced foods have meat in them, and it's not bad for the birds. It's just added as a source of protein.

He/she will just eat what he wants and leave the rest. I'd say try it if he likes it.

Thank you for the info. I never knew finches ate meat! I suppose worms are sort of like meat...just never thought of them that way.
I'll let my finch pick through this seed mix, then.
