Re: good canary food
Oh goodness, I feed my canaries a wonderful canary mix by ABBA, which is a U.S. company. I think a good canary seed mix will consist of primarily canary seed, with some (not too much) fatty and oily seeds like hemp, rape, nyger (niger), sesame, flax, sunflower, etc. A excellent canary diet would be supplemented with fresh greens and the occasional fruit, like orange or applle to name a couple. 

God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored.
