The requirements for canary food are very simple. The most part of it should persist of canary seeds. Most dealers sell this canary food as a mix of canary seed, some rape seed and hemp seed. You can buy this already mixed or seperate and mix it yourself. The seeds should be well matured, clean and not too old. If the canaries don’t like the seeds, check out if they are ok by opening a view.

In addition the canaries should get some chickweed, lettuce or a bit of an apple. They also like bread moistened in milk. The food should be completly fresh, otherwise it can lead to bacterial diseases. Don’t make the canary food too wet, is absolutely enough if it is just softened a little bit.

Canaries also like cuttle bone, hard-boiled egg, unsalted crackers or some meal worms from time to time, but not too often. The canaries will thank you with health and beauty if you provide them with good adequate canary food.
