On the weight bands

Beaphar band the daily amount by the bird's own weight rather than by species — 3-5g for a bird weighing 5-10g, 5-10g for one weighing 10-20g — so weighing an individual bird, particularly a young or unusually small one, gives a more accurate figure than assuming from the species alone.

Why we chose it

The weight-banded feeding guide matters more on birds this small, where getting the amount wrong by even a couple of grams is a bigger proportional error than it would be on a larger bird. A complete formulated food also avoids the pick-and-choose problem of a plain seed mix.

Full description

A finch weighing under 10 grams needs its food measured in single grams, not scoops, which is the opposite problem to a bigger bird and one a lot of seed mixes are not really built around.

This is Beaphar's XtraVital Exotic Bird food, described as complete for birds such as Zebra finch, Society finch, Gouldian finch and Java sparrow, led by seeds at 45.75% millet with a small proportion of dried echinacea (0.6%) and egg derivatives (0.14%). Beaphar's feeding guide is banded by the bird's own weight: 3-5g over 24 hours for a 5-10g bird, rising to 5-10g over 24 hours for a 10-20g bird.
