Welcome to the forum. How do you house your canaries and finches?

Hi and welcome to the forum
why don't you grow your own grass seeds? Below is a link to a thread about growing green grass seed for birds.

You can even grow them hydroponically or just indoors in pots.
Your birds might like thistle plants too, especially the seed and flower heads.
If you don't want to grow them indoors, grow them outdoors over spring and summer and freeze the green seed stalks for use later in the year.

Most grasses are good, just different in different parts of the world.
