    Hi all,

    I'm lucky enough to have a flock of Gold finches in my back garden as well as Green finches, dunnock, blue and great tits, chaffinches etc.

    While I love feeding them, they won't eat the cheap bird food full of wheat and just throw it on the ground. We've been mixing our own feed instead but bags of niger seed, sunflower hearts and linseed are costing me a fortune.

    The pet shop has large sacks of Canary seed which is very cheap, if I bought this as a base and then added my extras would this be a safe feed for my garden birds?

    Slightly off topic**
    Thought you could help/ point me in the right direction.

    I'm hoping to get my first bird, something small for the apartment.
    Something without a deafening call for my neighbors sake .
    And relatively easy going .

    Every other thread I can find relevant is ten years old and constantly redirects to some guy tryna cause the issue of keeping them in a cage. Like

    That enquiry is better suited to the Pet & Animal Issues form - best to start a new thread there.
