To
stay healthy, a bird needs exercise, a clean
cage, free time, and most of all a well-balanced
and varied diet. The most basic element of this
diet is a well mixed bird seed or a good brand
of pellets. If feeding a seed diet, be sure
to find one that has a good mix of Canary Grass
Seed and various types of millet, plus a small
amount of other seed such as oat, hemp and niger
seed. There are also fortified seed mixtures
available in which the seed is enriched with
vitamins and nutrients.

Unfortunately,
when fed a seed mixture, birds are able to pick
and choose what they want. This often means
that they avoid some seeds, thus limiting their
diet. Another option available today is to feed
your bird pellets. Pellets are formulated specifically
to provide the essential vitamins and minerals
that a bird needs. They are often also considered
a healthier, lower fat diet than seeds.
