Budgie mix conatains higher amount of Canary and French millet lots of jap and some yellow panicum. Judging by what's in them budgie mix would be cheaper per kg. Budgie mix would be good for your finches with the adding of red panicum as this is basically what i give. The only disadvantage is the lack of oil seeds which my birds like when rearing young. As for sprouting both mixes should sprout good except for the Niger. Both would also be good for trying to grow Green seed with the exception of Niger again. Give your birds both mixes separately and see which bowl gets attacked first and then work off that mix and add what ever else is needed. Hope this helped abit
