Tonic Seed - How much

[ginger]

Hi all

I feed my four little budgies two teaspoons each a day of the Trill mix plus fruit/veg and then feed soft egg food 3/4 times a week, millet (thumb sized bit each) twice a week and soaked seed once a week.

I finally found Harrisons Tonic seed in my local pet shop yesterday - how much of this do I feed? Should I feed seperate, or mixed with egg food and grated carrot or in a seperate treat cup a couple of times a week?

Many thanks - confused first time tonic seed user ;D

Are you planning to breed your budgies?

Hi BB - no, not planning to breed them.

hi ginger
my birds have access to tonic seed all the time,wether breeding or not, fed in seperate dish to their normal food.

I am feeding a seed mix comprising of four parts plain canary seeds, four parts mixed budgie seeds, two parts tonic seeds, one part red millet seed.

This is a very good mixing ratio from Barrie's website. Check it HERE

Thanks Ian and BB. I can buy canary seed and red millet loose in our local pet store so will get some to make my own mix up. Thanks again
