Clean canary seed

Birds greatly benefit from our seed because it is exceptionally clean. We have meticulously eliminated dust, unwanted husks, and other foreign substances, which, if present in bird food, can harm their sensitive tissues and create opportunities for harmful pathogens to enter.

Canary Seed & British Birds FAQs

What should I feed my canary?

A fundamental diet for canaries typically includes a blend of Canary Seed and Millets. Additional bird seeds are incorporated to introduce variety and expand the range of essential vitamins and minerals. Depending on the season and housing conditions, adjustments in their diet are necessary to cater to their specific requirements. The composition of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, as well as minerals like calcium and phosphorus, varies depending on the seed variety. Hence, we have the flexibility to provide various seed mixtures or supplements to effectively address the specific needs and condition of the birds.
