sourcing seeds

[Redwing]

For all those who live in Perth where do you buy your seeds to make your own mixes or supplement the premixed finch mixes? Live close to Bird world and they don't have a very big range of loose seeds. Any suggestions?

I get mine from nutri wing aka tony tewerik out in kelmscott, i get finch mix and tonic seed from him, he does sell it individually or have you tried bird and fish place in wattle grove (see fincher) swan valley birds even if your up for a drive........

Thanks Poitta. Went out to Bird and Fish last week and they had some bags of individual seeds but still nothing like the variety that everyone writes about. Did however get a bag of their tonic mix that the birds all certainly like. Have just been putting a small container of that out every couple of days. I work out Albany Hwy so could take a drive to Armadale if Tony sells in small quantities. How do you contact him? I'm presuming it's not a shop. Otherwise the Swan Valley place would be a good weekend trip if it's open then.
