Best Canary Food

 

The best food for a canary should provide balanced nutrition, support vibrant plumage, and encourage singing. Here are some top choices:

1. Seed Mixes (as a base, not sole diet):

·  Kaytee Forti-Diet Pro Health Canary & Finch Food

·  Harrison’s High Potency Super Fine (for canaries on an all-pellet diet)

Seed mixes should include canary seed, millet, flax, and other small seeds but must be supplemented.

2. Pellets (more balanced nutrition):

·  Lafeber’s Premium Daily Diet for Canaries – better nutritional balance than seeds alone.

·  Roudybush Nibles – formulated for small birds like canaries.

3. Fresh Foods (crucial supplements):

·  Leafy greens (spinach, kale, dandelion)

·  Broccoli, carrots (grated), apple (no seeds), orange slices

·  Boiled egg or egg food (especially during molting or breeding)

4. Egg Food (especially during molting or breeding):

·  Quiko Classic Egg Food

·  Orlux Eggfood Dry for Canaries

5. Occasional Treats:

·  Millet sprays

·  Cuttlebone (for calcium)

·  Mineral blocks
