Finch keeping is a worldwide hobby. Come listen to the yarns of finchkeeper Ray as he shares his finches stories, finch suggestions and hints and tips for other finch keepers.

The items Ray mentions that he uses:

Grit Ray is currently using for his finches: FitGrit

Ray also uses Polly's Grit

Ray also spoke about "milk seed" - this is grass seeds that have been grown and then harvested semi-ripe and then placed in a freezer for later use. There is a photograph of this milk seed up on our instagram page and Birdman Dad facebook page.
