Greenfinches
Any suggestions for the best diet to offer my greenfinches. Currently offering them abba Siskin mix with canary 3700 from abba. Every other day greens or fruits.

Re: Greenfinches
I checked one of my German books since I don't have any first hand knowledge. They are listing: niger, rape seed (which abba canary doesn't have),flax, hemp, poppy seed, thistle, lettuce seeds, canary seed, millet, oat groats, a little sunflower and hemp.
Are you offering both seed mixes in two different seed cups? Have you noticed what they prefer?

They seem to like the 3700 blend better than the Siskin mix. They just pick out the hemp seeds in the Siskin mix.

Try soaked/sprouted safflower seeds.
