Read About Choosing Canary Food

Food that meets the specific dietary needs of canaries.

Things to Consider:

  • High Protein – Canaries need lots of protein on a daily basis. It´s best to find a food that contains high protein ingredients so that you don´t have to make a special effort to give your canary the protein he needs.

  • Coloring – Adding paprika, cayenne, or red peppers to your canary´s food can cause his coloring to become a brighter orange. The additions aren´t harmful and can be added if you prefer this slight change in color.

  • Seeds Which Can Be Fattening – Though canaries enjoy seeds like sunflower and thistle, these particular seeds can be very fattening and should be fed sparingly.
