What food do people use and find the best for all the variety of seeds the goldfinch need as I use prestige but don’t know if that’s the best out there

Good food that pal, I used a mix like that and I was out collecting wild food for them like thistles and that as brings the colour out naturally

I use versele laga too as its decent and easily available locally. There are better mixes I'm sure but harder to source.

 I have bamfords top flight mill close by and buy it from there but don't use their own cheaper mixes.

I use deli nature 97 40 quid from a company in sheffield & plus this seed. Great mix this got many varieties of seeds in. A buy 2 bags of each then mix them up gives me 4 bags. The Jeff's seed a pay 20 quid a bag.

Great for bullfinches too the Jeff's mix. Image here of the mix. For 20 quid you can't go wrong then mix it with a named mix. It's opened my eye because my birds love this cheap mix .

That's more for Siberians mate. If your breeding natives just get a normal mix like a put up. If your breeding Siberian then something like deli nature 97 eddies Mix. 47 quid at BJ farm sheffield. Best price around others are wanting 60 odd quid a bag.

Just be careful with food for wild/garden birds, it can be lesser quality and not stored the same as food for aviary birds, seen some crawling with weevils.

The above food might be spot on, can't comment on it, just thought it was worth mentioning
