Tropical birds africa is suitable for small African birds, such as red-cheeked cordon-blue, red-billed fire-finch, common waxbill, Yellow-fronted canary, yellow-winged pytilia and black-faced waxbill. In addition, this mixture is also very well suited to South American birds. The grass seed ensures that the birds maintain a better weight and gives extra enrichment, because the birds have work for their food.

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 some fruits, foxtail millet, or vegetables (no avocado)
• always make sure there´s enough fresh drinking water
