Remember about 1 or 1-1/2 months ago a number of us contacted GoldenFeast for samples. Well I got mine today - 1 Australian Blend for finches and 2 samples of parrot food.
The Gouldians are NUTS about this stuff! The juvies won't get out of the food dish that I added it to. Amazed me. The package says it contains over 55 ingredients - which is lists and smells... different. I'll have to find where I can pick up a larger bag of it now.
Did anyone else get their samples yet? What did you get and how did your fids like it?

Glad you got yours. Mine must still be held up in customs. Got an email on Feb. 2nd saying it had been processed and expect to receive it in 10-14 days. So it's overdue. I was afraid that customs maybe wasn't going to let it through for some reason, but if they let it through in ON, then BC should be OK too.
They also sent a list of distributors in Canada, but they are all back east (maritimes), so I would have to order online from Goldenfeast directly. Canada Post costs more than most orders I get from the US!
I asked for the Petit Treats for my GBs. Hope it comes soon. I'll let you know if they get it and like it as much as your Gouldians do.

I had about given up on this, so glad to hear they are sending them out. I don't know what I asked for, think I just asked for something appropriate for finches, so it will be a nice surprise when I get it.

In the US. Not many distributors around, don't see it in any pet stores in Canada, or at least not on the west coast. Their website doesn't list prices either... so I think they mainly wholesale.

Glad to hear others have received their GoldenFeast Samples.....my finches didn't take to it for a few days then they really got into it and seem to really like it now.
When I first put it in all by itself they didn't go near it...but when I mixed some in with the eggfood they went for it. Now they eat it just by itself.

I got mine yesterday. I got 3 bags also: Basic Plus Finch Blend, Australian Finch Blend, and Canary Song and Condition Blend. All my tweeters seem to like it. My Zebs just sat in the food dish..
I'll definately be purchasing some more. They like the seed blend from Fairest Finches also.

Mine came today. I put some of the Australian blend in a dish tonight and noticed them eating it. What's everybody going to do with the hookbill bag? I don't think we should give that to the finches.........
