cage- and aviarybirds

bullfinches

For keeping and breeding all species of bullfinches, such as the large bullfinch, the Norwegian bullfinch or the small European bullfinch, Garvo has 5317 bullfinch extra with selected seeds, which suit these birds. Also, Rowan berries have been added. Bullfinches love to eat Rowan berries; they’re rich in vitamin C, which gives an extra boost to the natural resistance.

feeding advice

• give fresh birdseed daily
• give unlimited grit and sharp stomach gravel; sprinkle this on the floor of the aviary or put it in a separate bowl
• make sure there’s cuttlefish for the extra minerals (among which calcium). That is good for the eggs. Furthermore, the birds can sharpen their beaks on the cuttlefish
• during the breeding and moulting seasons give extra fats and proteins with egg food
• upplement now and then with some fruits, foxtail millet, alder twigs with catkins, or vegetables (no avocado)
• always make sure there´s enough fresh drinking water
