Budgie,

I have something that looks pretty much the same, the birds love it! There is another side to it as well, if I miss before it seeds the little black ants take it away. Go figure!

Looks more like GG than tussock to me. But I am no expert. I just try anything that seeds and if they like it I keep feeding it, and if they don't I stop. Keep it simple principal.

Definitely not Guinea grass as the seed of this doesn't have ears to it but it looks good to feed. Craig
