I still think candles and violins and a nice cup of mineral water with a twist would top it off!!!!

Now what is each one?

1.)Hard boiled egg shell - which they love
2.)dried egg food (3-way blend including miracle meal plus another that I bought at Pet Supermarket and another I want to say is by Raft but I cannot think of it off the top of my head. I have them written down.
3.) Raft Veggie mix - they don't seem to like it too much from what I have noticed
4.) Raft Fruit Mix - they seem to like it considerably
5.) Has hatched eggshell, grit, charcoal, cuttle bone, oyster shell, F-Vite, powdered kelp (which i also mix with seed)

Typically, I add bee pollen and a herb mix but they haven't been touching it so I refrained since I will be outta town for the next two days. :D

Oh, and I also add a breeders blend supplement to the oyster, cuttle, and etc mix for my pairs that are nesting.

Do you all think this is overkill or am I leaving anything out?

This is what I feed mine but I also incorporate other things like what I listed above. I do supply them with other oily seeds, like live niger (from faboulous finch - you can get it at lady gouldian), during more stressful periods, like molt, breeding, etc.
