Daily changes of fresh water are critical. If you are unable to replace water daily, I recommend using a Drink Tube. The zebra finch's' primary food is seed. Millet is the principal seed in any finch formula. Properly balanced seed formulas are readily available at pet shops. Zebra finches love millet sprays. Zebra finches also need a diet supplemented with certain greens like spinach, vegetables and fruits. Sprouted seeds are the method employed by most finch owners to satisfy the need for greens. Grated carrots and cucumbers are examples of vegetables fed to zebra finches. Owners are encouraged to try apples and bananas to see what appeals to their individual finches. Calcium is an essential mineral supplement to Zebra Finches. It is important both to the birds bone development and maintenance and to the females calcium intensive needs in egg laying. Understandably, the need for calcium is most acute in the female during and after the egg laying process. Generally, a Cuttlebone, obtained at many pet stores, is the easiest method for assuring that calcium is available. Egg Food recipes are also recommend periodically as a calcium supplement. Additionally, during the egg laying process, many owners and breeders recommend that a baby bird hand-feeding formula be mixed with dampened seed and presented to the nesting pair. The benefit of the hand-feed powder formula is that it is easier for the parent when gagging up food to feed the fledglings and easier for the fledgling to digest. The reason for starting the hand-food formula before the birth of the offspring is to get the parents accustom to it prior to the time it is needed for feeding the young. Additionally, when my birds are going through stressful experiences, such as a change in housing, breeding, loss of a mate, I like to supplement their diet by putting a powdered vitamin in their water.
