Oven-fry meatballs for a crisp texture and shorter cooking time. Heat the oven to 425 F. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in an oven-safe, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until shimmering. Brown one side of the meatballs; then turn them in the pan using tongs.
In nature, finches eat a diet that mostly comprises seeds. This has led some keepers to believe that finches can thrive on just seeds, but such a limited diet is no more healthy for a finch than an all-cheese diet would be for a person.
Fruits and vegetables provide an extensive array of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, they are low in fats. Finches love brightly colored fruits and vegetables, as well as leafy greens. Always wash all the produce you feed your bird thoroughly; buy organic fruits and veggies whenever possible. Although iceberg lettuce is fine to feed as a treat, it is low in nutrients, so it shouldn't be a staple item in your bird's diet.
