Aussie Finch Forum

Hi i am looking how to expand my gouldian finches diet some.

At the moment they are eating a foriegn finch food which constists of a range of millits, canary seed and a tiny amount of niger which they dont really eat.

I also provide charchoal, avian trio in a finger pot along with powdered kelp. I feed them egg food *try them on live, which they ignore* and greens such as brocalli and herbs which they pick at. They dont touch soaked seed.

I have recently tried them on bue maw-poppy seeds and they do seem to pick at this. I was thinking of introducing some wild british seeds and some herb seeds, i bought for my gold finches.

What do you think of this? worth a try?

It won't hurt to try, Put one of your goldies in with them to teach them to eat new things.

Try planting some of your seed in hanging baskets or pots and giving them these when they have green seed on. 2 or 3 baskets to rotate would be ideal.
