simplest one Ive seen is boiled egg and raw unsalted sunflower kernels....looks easy but I havent tried it since the only finches of mine that touch egg food are the hungry gutted gold finches .....

My egg food recipe is similar to the canary egg food. I mix 3 scoops egg & biscuit, 3 X Farex, 1 X wheatgerm, 1X SLA ( from health food shop), 3 X milk powder & 3 X Vetafarm hand rearing powder together. I mix them all up in a chinese take away container. I then put a boiled egg through a sieve with the powder mix I puu enough powder in that it is not so gluggy that it sticks into a lump but is nice & crumbly without being too dry. I feed a good pinch daily & it will keep in the fridge for a few days. Gouldians absolutley love it once they acquire a tate for it

i think there is a bit of differance in egg food and soft food. i feed my softbills softfood which contains egg, bread crumbs and insectavore mix (smells horrid). but thats as close as my finches get to it. egg and buiscut i think contains egg and farex or arrowroot buiscut finely broken up to make a dry mix. but its all down to the breeders preferance.(also your birds my over indulge and become obese) there are a few types softfood/ egg food on the market......thank god its friday i am having a hard time spelling .... need another bourbon.......pete
