Hi I have recently been given an unwanted Canary. I have bred & when needed hand reared Zebra finches. I had to give that up for health reasons.
I now have a reddish brown Canary not sure on sex or age poor thing was unwanted. it started shedding feathers soon after arrival. I believe this to be due to stress.Im feeding egg food Xtravital seed & am covering earlier this seems to have helped.
My question is how much fresh fruit & veg should I be feeding. REALLY loves it's fresh fruit & veg to the point I think it would happily eat a whole grated carrot.lol.
Any other useful tips / advise would be truly appreciated.I have joined to learn & give Chicken tweet tweet finch canary a full healthy & happy life. ( my 4 year old grandaughter named it after we lost our 6 & a half year old hand reared finch.)
