Canary Food: Fine Seed Mixes for Your Canary Bird at Home

Canary Food: Fine Seeds for Canaries

Canaries have a small beak and eat above all fine seeds. Here you will find canary food from Leimüller as Classic and as a Special mix, plus a variety without turnip rape for the case that your bird does not tolerate that seed. The range is rounded off by sprouting food for the breeding and moulting season and by millet spray as a treat to nibble on.

Classic and Special, also without turnip rape

The Canary Food Classic is the base mix for every day and holds the traditional seeds that canaries like to eat. The Special mix is more finely balanced and is meant for keepers who would like to offer a little more. Turnip rape is the classic ingredient in canary food, which is why the Special mix also comes without turnip rape. That gives you an alternative if your bird avoids it or does not tolerate it. Fill the bowl fresh each day and remove empty husks, otherwise your canary no longer reaches full seeds.

Sprouting food for breeding and moulting

Sprouting food for canaries is made from seeds that are brought to germinate. During breeding and through the moult the need rises, and many keepers then offer a portion of sprouting food alongside the seed mix. Give it fresh and take leftovers out of the cage on the same day. Millet spray from Austria rounds the whole thing off. Your canary pulls the seeds from the spray itself, which keeps it busy and brings variety into the day.

Frequently asked questions

What is turnip rape?
Turnip rape is a small oil seed and the classic ingredient in canary food. If your bird does not tolerate it, you will find a Special mix without turnip rape.

When do I give sprouting food?
Sprouting food is in demand above all during breeding and moulting. Offer it fresh alongside the seed mix and clear leftovers away on the same day.

How often do I change the food?
Fill the bowl fresh every day and blow the empty husks off. That way your canary can always see how much food is really still there.
