-A variety of green grass seed heads
-A type of thistle, flowers, seeds, leaves and stems
-Multiple types of dandelion, leaves and flowers
-Clover flowers
-Chickweed when I can find it
-Cos/Romaine Lettuce
-Occasionally apple, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber
- Dry seed mix (Topflite brand)
- Baked crushed egg shell
- One a week vitamin and mineral supplement
This is for my zebs, canaries, budgie, diamond doves and lovebirds, none of which I breed, some lay about once a year but I don't let them raise the chicks currently
Wondering if there is anything I should add or remove

Don't know the seed brand so can't comment. Would remove the lettuce - it is little more than water, can occassionally cause scouring, and with the fabulous diet you are already providing, totally unnecessary.
Do you eat as well as your birds? :think:

I agree with finchbreeder, the lettuce is unnecessary, however the rest of the diet is great :thumbup:

Thanks,
