I remember reading a recipe which was similar to this a few weeks before my Senegal came into my life, but for the life of me I could not find it again.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a parrot mix without any sunflower seed in it? And it needs to be from a UK website. I use Sunflower seed as a treat so I either have to buy every seed singly or take all the sunflower seeds out of a mix (takes AGES!) I'd be so grateful for any help. Thanks...
