I'm thinking about switching from a seed blend diet to a formulated/pellet diet. If I switch, it will be at least several weeks, so I'm trying to figure out what the best one is. Anyway, I'd like to know what you guys think of these products. I can get these brands around here or online.

the only one i've tried on your list was the roudybush and my birds ate it but weren't overjoyed with it. when I switched my birds from mainly seeds to mainly pellets..I went with Harrisons bird foods. if they have a choice, they will eat seed, but out of the pellets that I have tried, 5 different kinds, they go to the harrison's every time.

Harrison's is definitely an awesome product.

For convenience, however, I mostly feed my birds a combination of Lafeber's and Kaytee (exact rainbow, but only because my local pet stores do not carry exact original for finches..i would prefer original because i don't like feeding all the dyes).

I found it pretty easy to convert my birds and they do well on the pellets. They get seeds as treats now and they *love* the seed, but when seed is not available they eat the pellets with no problems.
