Exotic Bird Food: Fine Seeds for Zebra Finches and Waxbills

Exotic Bird Food: Fine Seeds for Waxbills

Exotic birds are waxbills such as zebra finches, and they eat fine seeds with small grains. A coarse mix often stays untouched with them. That is why you will find exotic bird food from Leimüller here in three grades, from the base mix through to the Premium variety. Millet spray goes well with it as a treat that the birds pull from the spray themselves.

Fine seeds for small beaks

Waxbills pick small grains and barely cope with coarse kernels. The mixes here are therefore matched to fine seeds, so that zebra finches and their relatives can take the food up easily. Fill the bowl fresh every day and blow the empty husks off, because otherwise the bowl looks full while hardly any seeds are left underneath. Store the supply dry and cool, then the mix stays fresh and low in dust for a long time.

Classic, Special and Premium

The Exotic Bird Food Classic is the solid foundation for everyday use. The Special mix is put together more finely, and Premium is aimed at keepers who want to give their birds a particularly high grade mix. All three types suit zebra finches and other waxbills in the cage just as well as in a planted aviary outdoors. For variety you hang a millet spray inside. It keeps the birds busy, because they have to pick the seeds out themselves, yet it replaces no staple food in the bowl. Waxbills are very active and pick small amounts again and again across the day.
