Hello,

I don't really have a feeding roster for the kids for the year.

They get a mixture of Finch, Canary, with some Budgie thrown in year round. Also spray millet, and wild seeds when available.

They get a great variety of greens, veggies and some fruit on a regular basis. My home made hard boiled egg mix daily when breeding, raising young, or molting... twice a week other wise.

Live foods such as mealworms and flightless fruit flies, are offered, especially to the Waxbills, Parrot Finches, Black and Whites, and Zebra and Societies (who seem to relish them). Freeze dried, crushed mealworms are added to the eggfood of the other species.

I also make a mixture of grated cuttle bone, iodine cube, vitamin cube, crushed egg shells, bird grit, iodised salt, bird charcoal, crushed oyster shell, and bird clay, and offer that regularly.

I also add some birdie vitamins into their water twice a week.

That about rounds it off.

Hope this was helpful :D .

Would love to see some pictures of your birds.
