The young of any species (including us) needs a diet rich in vitamins, minerals and especially protein, so they can grow up to be big and strong. Bread just isn't going to do it - not on its own anyway
My dad breeds greenfinches. The young chicks need protein so he feeds them mealworms - has to buy them from a supplier. Trouble is, the worms need housing and feeding too, and eventually they turn into this scary looking bug. My dad's basically providing what the finches would get in the wild. It's all very complicated and difficult.
