This is a well-known seed company in the U.S. I've linked to their finch mixes, so you can see what different seeds they put in their mixes. Hopefully, this will help you select different seeds to offer your birds. Finches also relish green seeds, seeds that have just formed on the stalk but haven't yet ripened to brown color. You can gather green seeds in the wild, as long as you know they are not from a field that has been treated with chemicals.
