This study was conducted to develop ornamental bird granule-type feeds for shortening working hours and improving productivity at the bird farms. We developed two kinds of Common finch feeds for the growing and layer birds. The ME level was 3,200 kcal/kg, respectively and the CP was 16and 20 ％, respectively. The developed feeds and traditional mixed-seed feeds were compared to investigate the egg production and hatching rate in Common finch. There was no significant differences between the two feeds indicating that the developed feeds can be used at the bird farms. However morphological shape changes of the developed feeds will be needed for effective assumption.
