Nutrition: the basis for fitness and singing
Good nutrition starts with a proper foundation. Consider a high-quality seed mix or complete food, supplemented with grit/minerals, for example, and (where appropriate) some vegetables or herbs for added variety. Choose primarily based on the species, life stage, and your feeding style (daily convenience versus targeted feeding).
Enrichment: Do more, behave better
Canaries and finches are active birds. With safe enrichment, you can encourage climbing, foraging, bathing, and exploring. Vary the toys, perches, and snack times: a small difference for you, but a big impact on their daily routine.
Practical tips for daily convenience
- Work with a fixed “base” (food + substrate) and only change the enrichment/snacks.
- Keep feeding and drinking areas clean; choose materials that are easy to clean.
- Combine snack times with foraging: that immediately turns eating into an activity.
Checklist: this almost always fits well
- ✔ Basic food suitable for canaries/finches
- ✔ A snack for variety (small, portion-able)
- ✔ Enrichment for climbing/exploring
- ✔ Hygiene: bedding + cleaning routine
Safety (short & clear)
- Look out for loose loops/strings and excessively long fibers in the cage.
- Choose toys without sharp edges and of an appropriate size for small birds.
- Always follow the instructions for use of care products.
