β€” Elizabeth

"My canary Feather won’t eat it. I imagine pellet food is for birds who were raised on it. Feather is a seed guy. I think it is good for them, I’ll put it with the wild bird seed and see if the sparrows and finches out there eat it."

Bottom Line

This product is worth trying if your canary is open to new foods, but be prepared to mix it with seeds or consider alternatives if resisted.
