You could try giving your finches celery but I doubt they would eat it. It also has almost no nutritional value for finches. The best food you can give your finches (besides seed) is egg food. Egg food is just smashed up boiled egg. Make sure to leave the shell on as the hen will need the extra calcium.

Celery may be hard to feed Finches. They enjoy more green veggies, like kale and spinach. You may try it, but I highly doubt they will like it.
Eggs are a great source of calcium (with shells, hard boiled/cut in half, scrambled or egg biscuits from the pet store), but they need other things for this enhanced diet. Green veggies have vitamin D in them, which will help digestion of calcium- kale, spinach or green beans are also needed or it will pass right through their system. You can also give them plain lawn grass (as long as you know there has not been any chemicals used in the past 7 years) and dandilions while they are still yellow flowers.

Finches eat FINCH food. You get it at the store. Most supermarkets even have it.
