Highlighted Reviews

β€” Sr

"Our Vet advised us to mix different pellets to keep our finches interested in their pellets. We mix 5lb Lafeber premium with 1lb Lafeber tropical, and Zupreem fruit blend for the finches. They love it!"

β€” Ray

"I feel it is unjust to deprive them of something they obviously love and is instinctively ingrained in their being so I have started them on a seed blend again that I dust with vitamins and they seem much happier."

Bottom Line

This is an excellent choice for finch owners who want a nutritious and well-accepted food. Users may need to experiment with mixing different pellets and seeds. Issues with stock availability may affect the experience.
