cage- and aviarybirds

goldfinches and siskins

Goldfinches and siskins are beautiful and lively aviary birds. European siskins and redpolls, for example, are very popular and kept partly thanks to their many colour mutations. In order to keep these birds in optimal condition and in shape for breeding, it’s important that there’s a sophisticated seed mixture. To this end, Garvo has 5315 european goldfinch and siskin extra with a high amount of niger seed and additional thistle seed.

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
• supplement now and then with a bit of vegetables, fruits, yellow foxtail millet or alder twigs with clods
• always make sure there´s enough fresh drinking water
