Yes of course... when birds come to me I always feed them on what they have had for a few days till its gone. You can even buy it and mix it with the old food to get the bird used to it. :-)

And question again :D Should i buy this mix or rather buy singly ingredients and mix it ? It ll cost about 20 € but it ll cost for 1 kg pack about 1,7 - 2€.

And when should i start target training ? toda it is 2nd day of clicker training.

I would buy the Prestige because it has pellets mixed in also... and seeing as though you can;t get hold of them right now it might be best to buy the mix for now.

If you later are able to get hold of pellets separately then you can mix your own. See how you get on. The advantage of mixing your own is you could remove sunflower seeds altogether.

You can start target training when you have completed the previous steps in the guide. I think 3-4 days of taking the treat using the clicker. Then you can move on to the next step.

Yes. They will do that with the brush. 13cm is a little short... use a chopstick, they are the best every day thing I could find

If its working stay with it but if its not then change it. If you change now you'd have to start all over again.
