Congrats on caring on where your food comes from.
the next step is to demand quality, and or organic when it comes to your feed for birds. Somewhere within a reasonable drive of where you live there is a dealer who will sell you organic feed, and or an organisation of organic farmers.
The folks who sell you stuff will supply what you ask (fight) for. But do your homework. Walmart has become a big supplier of "organic" foods and most of it is from China (how it qualifies as organic, I have no idea).
Better yet, buy local: as a farm kid I know that many farms are organic but haven't been though the process to technically qualify. If you throw a banana peel on your land and the "organic" people find it you lose your organic status.
also be prepared to pay more for organic or local feed (not much more, maybe 20%)
buying from a farmer may mean buying in bulk (bring your own bags)
talk to a local organic bakery and find out where their flour (grain) comes from
good luck
