Hi there! Try to reduce or better yet ignore seed mixtures containing any sunflower or corn content. I have been utilizing
a canary/finch blend.......(shoot and cannot think of the brand name right now!!!) It's a tropical blend with dried fruit. The seed content mostly consists of white and red millet seeds.
I'm almost thinking it is a KayTee brand. It must almost be the end of the week. Once I check at home this evening, I'll post the brand for sure........and I have been using this for years too. LOLOL

Greg

Thank you! I'd love to know the name. So the dried fruit is okay? It's not too high in sugar (as dried fruit usually is)?

I was trying to find some w/o sunflower seeds or corn, but no luck. Even tried the garden centers, etc.

Natural dried fruit can be fine in moderation. That is a good point regarding sugar intake and their kidneys' well-being.
I'll post it tomorrow........the brand that is. I'm almost positive it is Kaytee brand. Try also farm and fleet or TSC centers, or even farm feed centers as well. They usually have bulk millet seed, as well as bird supply stores/centers....

Greg

Cool! Do you just give them the dried fruit in the mix or do you hydrate it any (soak in water, etc)?
