I couldn't agree less.
Finches are seed eating birds - forcing them into a pellet diet is unnatural and unhealthy.
I can't think of anything worse for them than a non-natural, preserved, extruded food that is far from anything "living" like a seed, or nuts and fruits growing on a tree..

Yes, I don't see that as possible either. What do you guys have available for your finches at all times?
Zebra, Orange cheeks, Owls, Gouldians, Blue-Capped Cordon Bleus, Goldbreasts, Black Face Fires, & Button Quail
