Looking for gouldian finch food locally

Post by Pegspals » Wed Feb 10, 2010 10:44 pm

Hello all. I live in Ohio halfway between Dayton, Ohio and Cincinnati, OH. I am looking for a place to buy birdseed in bulk for Gouldian Finches. I have ordered it off the internet several times but shipping is as much or more than what I bought. Trying to find some place local that I can just go to get it. Can anyone help in this area? I am brand new to this site.

Check for a birdmart/show in the area. That is how I got my bulk seeds.

It really depending on the amount that you are buying at once. I sometimes order Doctors Foster and Smith. The shipping is flat $6. Remember that you are also saving on the taxes that you pay locally.

Check this site out. Tiffany told me about this. I tried one of the blend the have posted, watched what my birds ate and made note of what seeds they didn't. Once I did that I called and they custom blend up what ever you want. The owner is really very nice ans extremely helpful.
