364.0. "Finch Question" by BAGLDY::SIPILA (Can I go home now?) Fri May 25 1990 09:25

    I have two Zebra Finches and lately they have been eating a lot
    of grit.  
    
    Is this normal for them to do?  
    
    They get their regular finch seed and a seed mixture called "Bird 
    Salad", plus a small spray of millet, plus a piece of lettuce
    and usually a treat of fresh fruit daily. Lately it has been  
    strawberries because they are in season.
    
    They also peck away at the cuttle bone a lot.  When I clean their
    cage at night, they watch and watch to make sure I put their cup
    of grit back where it belongs, and if I should forget it they tell
    me about it!
    
    Thanks for you comments.
