FAQ:
What is a European Gold Finch?
The EGF is a small passerine bird of the finch family. The EGF is approximately 11-13.5 cm (4-5 inches) long and weighs 16 to 22 grams. Sexes are alike, with a red face, black and snowy white heads, brown and white breast upperparts and black wings with yellow flares. They are simply beautiful!

I think you should be fine though –there’s a couple unsavory ingredients in the bagged food, but nothing that should hurt you. Just drink lots of water, that should help get it out of your system. |
| JumpingBean88 06/12 10:36AM | Unsavory? What you mean by that? |
| BobCarduelisIntrigue 06/12 10:36AM | Harumph. AddleCaged might be too timid to tell you what’s in there, but I am not. Thought what ACS9483 told you is true, it is nothing too harmful. However you should probably know that after some reading up, I discovered that many of the EGF bird feeds include dried WORMS and INSECTS. This should dissuade you from any such foolish actions again! |

Hi my good friends. I have sort of a silly question for you –I’m a little embarrassed but oh well. I kinda sorta went over to a buddy’s house, and he has a beautiful pet Euro Gold Finch. It is very lovely. His name is Frankie. Anyways, I was really hungry and I grabbed a handful of seeds, I thought they was sunflower seeds and ate ‘em. My buddy got real mad and told me that was Frankie’s food. He said it was real expensive. But now I’ve had a tummy ache since then, and I’m worried I might get real sick. Can anybody tell me what they put in the EGF prepped food they sell at pet stores?
