Seed eating birds are often deficient in lysine and methionine, which Prime can supply. Or it may be used on another favourite soft food, egg. Some finches also need baby mealworms to successfully raise young. An aquarium strip light can easily be rested on the top of most large cages or flights. A bath may be attached to the cage and, if changed daily, may also provide drinking water.
Avian veterinarians are available in all large Canadian cities.
