With so many brands out there what company is rated the best is bird food product

I think depends on the type finches/birds you keep. What species do you have?

It also depends on your location. If you post your location in your profile, it makes it easier to answer questions at times. The cost of shipping has increased so much that it has forced many to look closer to home for supplies. If you live near Michigan, hermanbros-seed.com is wonderful, as they not only have various mixes available, but they can custom mix seed for you. If you live near New Jersey, then abbaseed.com is a good one. I've heard there are several excellent places on the West Coast that will custom mix for you, but I don't know what they are called.

I have 2 male zebras and i live in south Florida (Fort Lauderdale)

Zebras are not as picky as other finches, a good seed mix with a serving of Zupreem fruit blend pellets and Roudybush nibbles on the side is what I serve. I was using Katyee Supreme finch seed mix but I am working with Foosa101 on different fresh seed she is offering. So far they love Japenese and Brown top millets.

Ok since I'm so new at this I want to ask also I have socitiy finchs two one male one female ... my question is this right now I'm mixing there seed with he zupreem fruit blend and ever other day or so i give me greens like kale and or mustard greens and egg with shell mixed in what I want to know is this the right thing to do now I have saw them eating the egg mix when I offer it but not so much the greens them seem to like their seed mix better

second about sprouting seeds I watch the video on how mike sprouts his seed and I understand some of what he was saying but whe stuff he put on the seed to keep bacteria from growing what is this and can I sprout the seed mix they eat ever day or is there something better to get .. I know lots of questions .... sherrie

@Sherrie
When my birds are not breeding I give them a hardboiled egg + veggie mix 3x a week (MWF). When the start breeding then increase up to 3x a day, when I am home, more when they are feeding chicks.

Check the Finch Info Center link on the left and go to the nutrition page then look for the "safe, toxic and unsafe" foods article.

When you give them new food, sometimes it takes quite a while before they decide that what you gave them is food. Just keep giving it to them, and eventually they will try it.
