Any more recommendations for seed. It's that time again. I have 1-2 weeks of seed left at best.
Ideally I'd love my birds to have something similar to Trill. Are there any other seeds with vitamins and minerals added that you can buy in bulk?
Trill is £1.58 in my local asda.
20kg of Trill costs £63.20.
My last sack of seed was £23.99 for 20kg.

Marianne is there some way by which you could go in with someone else buying in semi-bulk and share? Or, as the breeders usually mix up their own, buy semi-bulk lots from them? It seems you're not quite got the numbers for a big bulk buy, but go through too much for a ready-mixed domestic sized product.

Usually in which quantity you buy Marianne and how long does it last?

Buying bulk; I can buy j&j expert budgie for £14 in 20kilo bags, this is when buying 40 bags, but your friends that were going to share the seed never come near. Versele-Laga is in 25 kilo bags and has no vat on it if you buy straights From the top i serve Pearl white millet, plain canary, panicum yellow millet, plain canary again, a mixed tray off black sunflower, dry groats, jap millet and tonic seed, not in the picture is J & J wild bird seed, i was feeding red millet also but they would eat this and leave all the other seeds alone.
