Which one of these do you guys think would be best for zebras and societies?

I would go with a small package of the Aussie mix. See how they like that first; then either buy a larger amount or go over to the other site and check that one.

Do let us know what you do and how your finches like it!

I have been buying the aussie mix for a while, but I was wondering about the other mix just because of the price. My birds love the aussie mix, and hardly waste any of it.

It looks like the Gouldian mix is a simpler mix, and Laraine says that it is not fortified, so you would have to offer vitamins to your birds. The price difference is significant, unless shipping would wipe that out. I would certainly try it.

Thanks for the response!

I think I am going to order the aussie mix for now, but I may get a small bag of the other blend in the near future to see how it goes over.
