Yes, they get the ABBA 1900 daily which contains flax seed. The Finch 1900 is a maintenance diet.
My Cando mix is used for sprouting and to extend the ABBA seed for my zebra and society finches to cut cost. I can make my mix for $ .50 per pound so it proves to be a great savings, the advatage of buying bulk wholesale and having it shipped to a commercial storefront
I sell it in my store for $ 1 per pound and people love the price and freshness! In the future I am thinking of mixing 100 lbs of white, siberian, german millets, and canary grass seed to 50 lbs of flax. It will be even less costly and lower flax , after much research I don't think it is best to have flax in the same quanities as the millets. So I will tweak the ratio. I also sometimes add oat groats and shelled sulflower chips.(especially for the parrot finches) I order my feed grade seed in 50 lb. sacks and it is really fresh. It sprouts like crazy and since it doesn't contain any pelleted foods or synthetic vitamins it is perfect for chitting. I don't give chitted /sprouted seed daily... I try to chit/sprout for breeding birds but time doesn't always allow for that to be done daily...I try for 3 to 4 time a week.
but so do cashews... not enough to hurt us but use caution when feeding tiny finches.
I think I am going to have Flax-Nightmares tonight!
