Canary seed is a grass, an annual plant that can reach up to 1m in height, with seeds found in the inflorescences. These seeds make up a significant portion of most bird seed mixes.
• Excellent for canaries, European and exotic birds, budgerigars, and large parakeets.
• EXTRA canary seeds have undergone additional cleaning and are of exceptional quality. Unique on the market!
The turnipseed is quite similar to rapeseed, with the difference being the more bitter flavour of the latter. Turnipseed is rich in protein and beneficial for enhancing singing, making it particularly interesting during the breeding season for canaries. However, as this seed is quite fatty, we recommend not exceeding 10% of your mix with turnipseed for colour canaries or posture canaries. For song canaries, turnipseed softens the song and can therefore be used at 30% of the mix: in this latter case, we recommend accompanying your bird's diet with liver support.
Chenopodium quinoa is an annual plant, one to two meters tall or more. The central stem is cylindrical at the collar and becomes more angular higher. It can be unique or have many ramifications, with a diameter ranging from one to eight centimeters and a height of 0.5 to 3 m, depending on the varieties and growing conditions such as seeding density or fertilization9. Its color is also very variable: uniformly green, green with purple or red streaks, or uniformly red.
Cardi seed is rich in protein and linoleic acid, which helps lower cholesterol levels and therefore reduce heart disease. It is found in parakeet and parrot mixes but also in native birds such as bullfinches.
Cardi seeds are high in fat. The amino acid proportions of the seed are very favourable, the arginine content is very high. The seed is low in lysine and methionine + cystine, while tryptophan is completely lacking.
The canary seed is a grass, an annual plant up to 1m tall, the seeds being found in the inflorescences. These seeds make up a significant fraction of the majority of bird mixes.
• Excellent for canaries, European and exotic birds, wavy parakeets and large parakeets.
Birds like to remove the shells from peanuts and then eat the peanuts. Peanuts are a source of energy, which is very important for the long winter months.
Unpeeled peanuts can be given to parrots as a treat.
Niger, bird seeds rich in phosphorus and calcium. Niger seeds (or nyjer seeds) are fine seeds rich in oil. They come from Guizotia abyssinica (also called Oleiferous Guizotia). Niger is very popular with most birds, goldfinches and tarins love it.
Niger is one of the few bird seeds with a good calcium/phosphorus ratio.
Pine seeds are a good source of Phosphorus, Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Iron, Vitamin E, K, B1, B2, B3, B9.
