None. Those brands have been considered to be of crap grade and expensive for what they offer. Also, the birds can only pick out what they like.
---------
The best thing is:

1. find a good pellet brand online: ie. Harrison's, Roudybush, Totally Organics
2. Supplement with lots of veggies, grains, bit of fruit
3. Buy a seed only mix and sprout them or soak them overnight before feeding
---------
The mentioned pellet brands are not much expensive, if at all, in comparison to the products you mentioned in your post. If you can buy a much healthier product at pretty much the same price as a poor quality product, why not choose the former?
---------
Roudybush is particularly affordable, yet of very good quality.

I live far from petco and bird store (nearest bird store is almost 40 miles away). I live like 5 mins from petsmart thats the only reason why i posted with those as they were available at petsmart. If you have a better brand please let me know of the brand and ill purchase it online! Thank you
