Your finches should have finch food (seed) because good feed mix from your local pet supply store contains some carbohydrates and amino acids which are necessary for your finches health.
However, you should also feed your finches other foods as well. Aim for 5 to 10 percent of your finch's diet to be composed of fruits and vegetables.
I like to cut up some broccoli, banana, and apple (and they LOVE peppers!), put it in a bowl, and put it in their cage. You can also buy them treats like Millet Seed, which they love.
To provide necessary protein, you can buy mealworms, which can be found at most pet stores.
You should put a cuttlebone in their cage to provide important calcium and mine. (this can also be found at a pet store)
Vitamins and minerals should also be provided. You can find liquid vitamins to be added to the water at most pet supply stores.
I have had zebra finches for a while and I just feed them finch seed from a pet store and occasionally millet seed treats and fruits and veggies, and they are healthy. But I wouldn't suggest taking finch food out of their diet.

Which two finches in the given diagram would compete the least for food?
small tree finch and medium ground finch
Can a finch eat carnary food?
well there are a lot of finches, and one of the smallest finches eat bugs/insects
Had different shaped shells depending on the island they were from?
The Galapagos Islands. Charles Darwin discovered that the birds on the island, finches, had different beaks. The finch's beak varies from each island to help the finch eat the food they can find on the island
How would the introduction of another species of seed-eating ground finch to the island most likely influence the medium ground finch?
they wont be able to have enough food to feed all other finches that feed on plants
Explain how the shape of finches beak is an example of an adaptation?
The shape of a finch's beak is different according to what food it eats.
How were Charles Darwin's finches isolated?
The finches were isolated by island, the many islands of the Galapagos archipelago, their distinctive beaks were adapted to the food available in their given locations, and all descended from a common finch.
What discovery lead Charles Darwin to develop his theories on adaptation?
finches on the Galapagos islands, darwin noticed that on different island each beak of the finch was different depending on the food avalible on the different islands so darwin presumed that as each finch moved to these islands their beaks changed
Which two finches could temporarily occupy the same niche?
Two finches that could temporarily occupy the same niche are the medium ground finch and small ground finch on the Galapagos Islands. During times of scarce food resources, these two species may compete for the same food sources, but their beak sizes and shapes allow them to specialize on slightly different seeds, reducing competition.
What do large tree finches eat?
Large tree finches primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and insects. They have a varied diet that includes a range of plant and animal foods. Their diet can change based on food availability in their habitat.
Birds. green finches will not eat from feeders?
they do not eat from the bird feeder,coss you mite not have wild finch food,you can got it from any pet shop!
What is the story of the finches found on the Galapagos Islands?
These finches looked just like any finches but by carefully watching and looking at them, it was noticed that they had slightly different shaped beaks. Each type of beaked finch was seen eating different foods than the other types were eating. They had adapted to fit into what is called a niche. One type ate only one type of food and another type ate only one other type of food. Their beaks were 'fitted' to eat that one food type.
What is the effect of climate on the size of the finch's beak an example of?
Climate can influence the availability of food sources for finches. In times of drought or food scarcity, finches with larger beaks are better adapted to crack open hard seeds, while in times of abundance, finches with smaller beaks may be better suited to feed on softer foods. This adaptation can be seen in the Galapagos finches studied by Charles Darwin, where beak size varied based on the type of food available on each island.
