Aussie Finch Forum

I here brewers yeast is great for finches,my question does anyone know what amounts to use in the softfood. I have 10 finches at the moment (green singers and stars).

never heard of yeast being fed to birds but it does contain vitamin B. Vegemite is made from yeast, what about trying vegemite on bread or rice crackers and see if the birds take that?

I've used ID yeast (inactive dried) as an excellent protein and vitamin B supplement. I presume brewer's yeast is live yeast.
With the ID yeast I used to add a teaspoon of seed oil to a kilo of seed (I used red pannicum as it was primarily a supplement for african waxbills which love rp) shake in a lidded container to thoroughly mix then add a teaspoon of ID yeast & shake again.
ID yeast is available from Aust. Pigeon Company.

Aust. Pigeon Company.
But will they send to Ireland?
Welcome to the forum. What finches do you keep?

Hi,I have green singers and some star finches,it's my first time to breed forigen finches.i usually breed Irish Fancy canaries ,so this season I have added these finches to my collection,something new and challenging.

They are quite a small canary I understand? I would like them, as I have always prefered the petite canaries.

Your right they are a wonderful little tight canary,with the biggest song.

I can't recall having seen an Irish Fancy canary before, but that is a handsome, healthy looking little bird, Sean.
Thanks for the photo.

Very much like our Fife canary by the look of it.

try to keep it on topic guys. This thread is about yeast, not canaries or introductions
