Wow, sounds good enough for me to eat! Seriously, I went to the link, and I have ordered some Fabulous Finch Food to try. It is too expensive to use as the basic seed mix, but I figured it might be a really good treat food. Thanks for the link!

Oh thats great that it is quality food! I didn't check out the cost, but I will see what the price is when I go to the store this week. It might be ok for me since I will only have two birds to feed.

Ok I just went and checked the on-line price, $13 for 2 pounds, sounds crazy expensive but how long would 2 pounds of seed last for 2 gouldians, 1 month, 2 months? Not bad price then I think?
