Gouldin supplements.
What supplements do I want to give Taz and Dingo? I am feeding them canary mixed seed, fresh veggies, hard boiled egg a couple times a week, they have a cuttlebone, and millet. My red factor I give him ABBA red, could they have ABBA yellow as a supplement or is there something better for them as this will be good for plumage as well? I see many things on www.Myladygouldinfinch.com. Any views on this website?

Re: Gouldin supplements.
They should be eating a finch mix rather then a canary mix of seed. I wouldn't feed them any canary color enhancers. 
Veggies, hard boiled eggs are good. They also should have a mineral mix like charcoal, oyster shells and egg shells.

Re: Gouldin supplements.
Okay, I will be taking a trip to the bird farm today. I will get them gouldin mix there. No canary color enhancers, but the Abba yellow is for all birds isn't it? They do have grit to munch on is this okay or they need the charcoal kind?

Re: Gouldin supplements.
They need a mineral mix not "grit" that has granite in it.

Not familiar with abba yellow, sounded like a color enhancer for canary's
