I usually feed the budgies seed mixed with fruits and veggies. I've been buying Kaytee Grassland Foraging Diet and Lafebers Parakeet Nutriberries. I was wondering if all bagged seed is basically the same or if there is a best for quality and nutrition. Thank you!

I have also been curious to know, when we are strictly talking about seeds, if one brand is better than another.

I go by the ingredients, I look for ones that have healthy ones near the front.

For me, most seed blends are as good as another. There are things to avoid - mixes that are primarily oily seeds like sunflower, have very few kinds of seeds in them, or contain dyed seeds or colored pellets. As a rule, I look for a nice variety in the ingredients list and a good looking balance in the actual mix. Also, its more important to look for a clean and fresh product than a fancy product. Try gently shake the bag and look at the bottom. You will get a good idea of how old or fresh it is based on the amount of grit at the bottom. Dirty, poorly processed or roughly handled seeds will have a dusting of crushed hulls and other miscellaneous mess collect at the bottom and look something like fine sawdust. This kind of mealy mess can also suggest bugs in the food!
