There are many foods that you and I enjoy that will flat KILL your canary.

Some of them them you would never guess to be harmful...you and I might eat these foods all the time but...

Obviously...canaries have a completely different digestive system than you or your dog or cat.  They are seed eaters and they have the ability to get most of the nutrients they need from seed, greens, and a boiled egg here and there.  Of course...

We all want to treat our flying friends with something special now and then.  There are many healthy treats you can be feeding canaries.  You can see a few of the most popularhere.

Many of the bad ones are below.  This is by no means an extensive list but it will cover virtually everything you might have in your home...

Foods you should NOT be feeding canaries:

Canaries enjoy and NEED some veggies...mainly greens but anything with a high water content should be avoided.  Here are some veggies you should NOT be feeding canaries...

  • Celery
  • Onions
  • Iceberg lettuce

Lettuce with low water content and heavy leaves are OK and recommended to feed-->like RomainePeas are good for your canary and he'll love them too but I've heard that...

  • Chinese Pea Pods are very bad for feeding canaries.

Your canary will love fruits but stay away from...

  • Tomato
  • Avocado
  • Apple seeds
  • Mangos

(It really feels weird to put tomatoes and even avocado in the "fruit" section but, believe me, they ARE fruits...I looked it up.)

Some other items that can be bad...

  • Chocolate
  • Candy
  • Mushrooms
  • Salt
  • Caffeine

These foods can wreak havoc on your canary’s system and might even kill him.

Although not necessarily poisonous to your canary I highly recommend you don't feed the following very often...they'll make your canary FAT...

  • Breads
  • Cookies
  • Cake

Stick to the canary seed and canary food treats mentioned in this website and you'll be OK.
