For indoor birds where you control the environment, there isn't a real coupling between calendar month and diet. So you can do as you please. Some birds will adjust to your calendar, others seem to have a calendar of their own, maybe based on when they were hatched.

I think I read some place that you start new gouldians on the resting diet.

Because you are so far away, shipping will be EXPENSIVE. So you might try to get the seed blends for each diet and try duplicating the blends yourself. As for volume, I think resting and breeding/molting will be the most, with austere the least.

welcome and gud luk

gouldians (GB,YB,BB), blackbelly firefinches (trying to breed), societies (foster parents).
