many years, in my case over 25, has heard about our little compound feed for cage birds. The first time I learned of its existence was through a book called "How to improve the breeding of canary, Manuel Oms Dalmau, published in 1980. In the chapter I mentioned a food made from chopped large seeds that were more suitable and cheaper for our canaries seed mixtures. Subsequently there are many articles that mention, we discuss experiences and concludes that in addition are fine, but not yet an alternative to seed feeding. In fact, our mixtures incorporating these "crumbs" of colors that are not nothing but vitamins and amino acids to complete the diet.
Recently I read in various forums experience with a feed composed of English origin (no Belgian, like almost everything new). This I was giving good results with European wild birds (Lugano, goldfinches, greenfinches, ...) and of course, as an ornithologist was curious to try it. The feed in question is called Legazín, there two formulas for F1 and F2 wild canaries. I consider most appropriate for a priori mozambique canary is the F2, but we'll see if we serve.
When you open the bag we find us with these granules displayed:
At first glance a little surprised, not at all like the additions of either the seed mixtures. Before we try to check the health of the birds to those who submit to a change in diet so radical. First check the chest and the beginning of the crop, the keel should be well surrounded by muscle, good color and not have excess fat around the belly.
following the abdomen, did not show swelling, redness or bulging veins denoting any disease or illness. Pictured is the belly and lower chest, no enlargement of the liver can be seen either, apparently we have a healthy bird. 
The following is the transition to the feed. We put the bird in an individual cage, with a clear role in the bottom half and put seed feeder half think (in this case I think I put more seeds) and see what happens daily. The first bird seed and find out what you eat, see normal stools. Gradually seeds are scarce and the bird can spend a little time where coma, we must be cautious in that case. The bird quickly I started eating, the granules appeared in the trough literally "ground" and appears more voluminous stool, water consumption increases somewhat, but not much. Renewed daily paper and checking the stool for the bird to eat, not eating anything are white feces (urea only), no dark side.
Currently I have all my eating wild legazín F1, I have a few canaries are being adapted to legazín F2, and I have 2 singers and two eating mozambique F2.
Advantages: The main cleaning and birds have a complete diet.
Disadvantages: The feed is not cheap, and the adaptation phase is very dangerous
Over time we'll see how it goes.
The optional feed-Laga Versele the equivalent Legazín NutriBird C15 F2 is not yet been tested. The Belgian is more expensive and wild has not been the result of Legazín (as discussed breeders)
keep you informed.
