You are right, my goldfinch LOVES greens and veggies and hard boiled egg and... pretty much everything I put in the aviary. And mine do get greens every day and soaked seeds occasionally.

I have a canary seed mix in the aviary as well as finch and parakeet mix. He eats a little of all I think. I did try thistle in the beginning but he didn't touch it.

I also can't imagine keeping him in a small cage, he is the fastest bird in my aviary and sometimes zooms around that I think he might hit something. But he always manages somehow to make a turn at the last split second.
