Johnston & Jeff Foreign Finch — Species-Specific Seed for Tropical Finches

Johnston & Jeff Foreign Finch is a compound feed specifically formulated for tropical finches. Made up of small seeds highly suited to these small and beautiful birds, it is a highly nutritious blend that delivers exactly the right nutrient levels for the species. Don't be fooled by the fact it only has three ingredients — these are the best available.

At the heart of the mix is 50% panicum millet — a small, fine seed that tropical finches are naturally adapted to eat. Combined with soft, digestible yellow millet and plain canary seed, this blend provides the high percentage of correct millets that tropical finches need to thrive. These birds have specific nutritional requirements, and a species-specific mix like this one ensures those needs are met precisely.

Frequently Asked Questions

What birds is Foreign Finch suitable for?

Foreign Finch is formulated for tropical finches — including Zebra Finches, Bengalese Finches, Gouldian Finches, Waxbills and similar small exotic finch species. The seed sizes and millet ratios are specifically chosen to match the natural diet and beak size of these birds.

Why is panicum millet so important for tropical finches?

Panicum millet is a small, fine-grained millet that tropical finches are naturally adapted to eat in the wild. It is highly digestible, rich in carbohydrates and provides a good energy source. A high panicum content — 50% in this blend — ensures tropical finches get the correct millet ratio their diet requires.

Why does this mix only have three ingredients?

Three ingredients might sound simple, but that's the point. Johnston & Jeff have selected the three best seeds for tropical finches — panicum millet, yellow millet and plain canary seed — in the correct ratios. Adding more ingredients risks diluting the nutritional profile with seeds that are less suited to the species.

Can I supplement Foreign Finch with other foods?

Yes — fresh greens, egg food and live or dried insects make excellent supplements for tropical finches, particularly during breeding season when protein requirements increase. This mix provides a solid seed base, and supplementing with additional protein sources supports breeding condition and chick development.

How should I store this seed?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture or pests getting in. A 20kg bag is ideal for breeders or multi-bird households.
