These are my guys atm!,

That's what mine are like, the Diamond doves and King quail hang out together, and eat the same food.
So I use a good Quality finch and budgie seed, regular green seeding grass, all on a natural dirt floor.
With occasional - particularly when chicks are present - grubs and crushed eggshell.

I give mine gamebird starter as a base (for mini quails only) then I give the diamond doves just the 40$ 20kg of budgie seed I can find from the feed and seed store. They also get some shell grit just incase they need it.

I wish seed was that price here. But we pay an extra 50%
$97/20kg bag
Don;t know if that means our seed is a higher quality or what?
I would like to think if we pay that much more we get a better product.
I do know the locally grown stuff has to be viable (as in can be grown) while imported stuff is irradiated (to kill potential threats to aviculture)

Oh that's so weird. I think my dad would quit life if he had to pay 97$ for my hobbies (yet he's spending 500$ and time on the aviary) I think he was complaining about spending 500$ on food for my pets last year. If he lived where U lived he would die . I think it's pretty good quality. From what I've seen no weevils and it's easy to sprout.
Gamebird starter is slightly more expensive at 47$/20kg.

The finch combo should work.
But do make sure the avairy is totally - but totally - cold wind proofed.
Gouldians have no under down like most birds do.
They are a desert bird and in the wild spend the night in white ant nests - the worlds best insulated things - or hollow logs.
I have lost many of the little sods over the years to an unexpectedly cold wind. Boy have they been one heck of a learning curve.

That is Aussie dollars - but translated still 50% more than you pay.
