I'm not a finch expert, so I thought I'd post my idea on here so other people can give advice.
I feed my parrots a mix of veggies in the morning and pellets in the evening. Any seeds are just reserved for treats. This has been working out great for me, so I thought I'd do something similar for my finches.
I currently only have three zebra finches, but I plan to get more zebras and perhaps more gouldians too (mine all died
). But for now, I'd like to do this for the finches I've got.
My idea was to give my finches a roughly 50/50 mix of veggies and good quality seeds. For the vegetables, I was thinking of using broccoli, carrot, peas, squash, kale, beetroot, spinach and zucchini. According to what I've researched, they should be fine for finches, but I wanted to get another opinion. Do you think that these would be okay for my finches' daily diet? Are there any you think I shouldn't include or any other vegetables I should include? I'd love to hear you opinions.
It would look something like this (It would be a different mix though. This is my parrots' food).
Thanks in advance.
