Hi I have been using Riverina seed and have had a lot of waste due to finches not eating some or all of the seeds. I have heard Jenco is better ? Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm a fan of Avigrain Finch Blue.

Also try to grow as much red panicum and french white millet as possible to offer as half-ripe seed during the breeding season.

Thanks for the reply I use to use avi grain but the shop closed that I brought it from. I will try growing my own millet.

AGM, Allora Grain & Milling. Nice looking seed.
The store I work also stocks Avigrain and Jenco.
Allora is situated just outside Warwick so seed pretty local.
They do a good Finch Mix.
