I have a problem with little moths which seems to come from the bird food, they are very annoying.

I have an aviary inside the house with canary and finches, it is 8 feet tall 5 feet diameter in the circle connected with a 6 feet flight path with 8 canaries and 12 finches.

I use the Kaytee brand finch food for finch and the one for canaries.

Before when I had the Higgins premium brand I had no problems, but I could not find so I switched to Kaytee.

I’m looking for a good quality seed mix for my 4 birds

Darryl Z. asks:

Hi.

I’m looking for a good quality seed mix for my 4 birds – a CAG, a Yellow-Shouldered Amazon, a Meyers, and a Caique.

I’m currently using Vita Parrot by Sun Seed but it’s become really filthy over the years.

I actually, pick out the papaya because it’s so filthy and looks so gross, I don’t want my birds eating it.

So that’s where I’m coming from and I wonder if you could please recommend a few of your top mixes.
