If you wish to keep your bird in auspicious conditions you have to pay serious attention to its feeding. Pets that live at people's homes in ornamental cages commonly belong to granivorous birds. Owing to the name of the species people feed them only with seeds, that is not correct. But in fact such birds change their food each time of the year in natural conditions. Birds like to vary their feed with various sorts of animal forages, vegetables, fruits, tree barks and so on. So, feed your bird with large diversity of meal and it will be robust.

Today one may buy wild bird seed almost everywhere, even on the web. As you see you can't feed your bird an entire year with seeds because it wouldn't harmonize with their natural nourishment.

From the first view you may not discover any illness after feeding your bird with the same forage for years. But with time illnesses will be shown. As a rule a bird may be sick with various types of diseases such as overweight, kidney disease, disorder of the reproductive function and many others. Also there can be many cases of infective illnesses because birds need vitamins and proteins in their nourishment.

So the main part of a bird's meal consists of grain blends. Different kinds of grains (wheat, millet, oats, maize and others) and seeds (canary seed, herbage seeds, seeds of lettuce) should be contained in this blend because it is very useful for a bird's prosperity. Of course there must be oil-yielding crops such as sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, hemp seed and diverse nuts. But you are to be careful because the excessive feeding with oil-yielding crops can be a reason of overweight.
