I'm not sure sorry... I buy from a local store so never bought online.

My guess is that shipping will kill you if buying on line.

Check one of the 'weed and feed' or farm supply stores.
I get seeds from a place aptly called the feed barn that sells sells seed from finch mix, canary mix through cockatiel to large parrot mixes and on to chickens and horses. They sell a lot so it seems fresh. Hard to beat at just under a dollar a pound.

I've not been able to find what I need here (central Kentucky, USA) so I buy online from Herman Brothers. Seed + freight is about the same as buying local, and they actually have the seeds that I'm looking for.

Thankyou all. After doing the research i figure it'll be cheaper to stick to the store.

Check out the bulk bins at local grocery stores of health food stores. I get a lot of seed that way, including hulled millet, flax, sesame, hulled hemp, chia, oat groats, flaked grains, coconut flakes. Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. Just be sure to get whatever you get with no sugar, salt, or preservatives.

Turn towards home, and go there. Many overs, over woods and fields, streams and hills, many overs. Just turn towards home. How else would one go there? Perhaps it was a dream, and you have awakened from it. May the earth rise up beneath you, with home in your heart, and your person waiting.
