Hi All,
No big secret Gomer, At first i mashed up some boiled vegi,s and put it in for the "spoilt ones" , They didn't touch it.
So i thought i would mix some seed's with it and bingo , they love it.
The seed i used is Finch mix, canary seed, aniseed,niger and some egg biscuit and a touch of olive oil.
Mix it all up and put it in the ice cube tray's and put it in the freezer !!
I haven't measured portions properly, but i'm still working out the proper mix !!
Cheers Freddy

I just got mixed Frozen veggies from Coles , my finches still won't eat it without seed added, I have found that Bok Choy is their favorite !!

Great idea Freddy!
Just one question though, do you thaw them out a little before you give it to them, or do you just give it to them forzen?

I just take them out of the freezer in the afternoon and let them thaw out in the fridge overnight !!teg33 wrote:Great idea Freddy!

Maybe they might like them frozen in the Summer time !!
