One of the most important treats you can give your canary is...

Boiled Egg

Whether it's a chicken egg or canary egg.

Egg is a great supply of protein which wild canaries get from insects.

Boiled egg is a huge part of canary feeding for canary breeders. The protein is super-important for canary egg production and as a soft food for baby canaries.

It's also important for canaries that are not breeding. Protein supplies the muscle with amino acids which keep the muscles strong and healthy.

Boil the egg for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the shell...or not...I like to offer the shell separately so the canary can choose which one he eats.

MASH it up and put about a teaspoon in his treat dish. (Let it cool down first.) Don't let the egg sit in the cage more than 4 or 5 hours. All kinds of nasty bacteria and such like to grow on eggs and can make your canary sick. Twice a week will give your canary a good amount of protein in his canary feeding program.
