Frequently Asked Questions

Which finches is Gold Patee suitable for?
NutriBird Gold Patee is designed for all European ornamental finches including goldfinches, bullfinches, greenfinches, siskins and linnets. It is ideal for aviaries and breeding collections of native and European finch species.

What makes this different from standard eggfood?
Gold Patee contains wild seeds, maggots and gammarus alongside the honey-moistened eggfood base, providing an enhanced source of animal protein and variety that mirrors the natural diet of wild European finches — particularly important during breeding and chick-rearing.

How often should I offer eggfood?
During the breeding and moult season, offer eggfood daily. Outside of these periods, offering 3–4 times per week is sufficient. Always remove uneaten food within a few hours to prevent spoilage.

Does this replace seed?
No — Gold Patee is a complementary eggfood to be offered alongside a quality finch seed mix. Together they provide a balanced diet covering both the seed and protein components of the natural finch diet.
