Your finches should have finch food (seed) because good feed mix from your local pet supply store contains some carbohydrates and amino acids which are necessary for your finches health.

However, you should also feed your finches other foods as well. Aim for 5 to 10 percent of your finch's diet to be composed of fruits and vegetables.

I like to cut up some broccoli, banana, and Apple (and they LOVE peppers!), put it in a bowl, and put it in their cage. You can also buy them treats like Millet Seed, which they love.

To provide necessary protein, you can buy mealworms, which can be found at most pet stores.

You should put a cuttlebone in their cage to provide important calcium and mine. (this can also be found at a pet store)

Vitamins and minerals should also be provided. You can find liquid vitamins to be added to the water at most pet supply stores.

I have had zebra finches for a while and I just feed them finch seed from a pet store and occasionally millet seed treats and fruits and veggies, and they are healthy. But I wouldn't suggest taking finch food out of their diet.
