What should zebra finches eat during the breeding season?

During the breeding season, zebra finches need to take in more nutrients to support their own development and that of their offspring. Insects are rich in protein, so during breeding you can feed them more insects such as pupae and larvae to meet their energy and protein needs. In addition, breeding finches need extra vitamins and minerals, so you can offer foods rich in them, such as dried fruit, oats, and corn.
