Birds doubled food intake

I am perplexed. I fed my birds all summer on 1.5 pounds of feed, then switched the feed mix, and intake was doubled. In a month, my two birds went through a pound of seed. I am wondering though if they actually are the other mix though. I was feeding them a finch, canary, and parakeet food, but the seeds were a good bit biggebigger than the ones in this mix, and seemed more suited to bugies, so I gave them something else. Please help.

Pick through it and find out that they are eating the most.

They are possibly eating more because they enjoy it?

I go through 20lbs of finch seed a month.

That is not counting my parrot mix.

Lots of raisins would reduce the weight of your seed after you pick them out for sure.
