Having lived in eastern states I know the value of greens & grains for finches, I tried to find a supplier in WA to no avail.To import it into WA it needs to be radiated by Dept of Agric. which is expensive. I have sourced seeds thru a seed merchant & mixed my own with advice from a breeder in the east.All the seeds in my mix are untreated under pastures Act. I do not sell this as I am not a business

I will be making another batch in a couple of months ,the larger the batch the cheaper it is.
I offered the seed to a commercial outlet hoping they would make a batch but then found out their profit margin was 300%
