The flaxseed consists of 40 to 45% oil and 25% protein. Flaxseed preserves very well. It contains, in particular, two fatty acids with similar names (both derived from the word "lin"), linolenic acid (an omega-3) and linoleic acid.
The seed is used in animal feed, particularly for laying hens for which an increase in the omega-3 content of the eggs is desired.
Due to these properties, this seed aids digestion.
Dari, also known as sorghum, millet, is a variety of seeds that is attached to millet varieties. The dari has the size of the hemp seed. The seed is native to the warm regions of Australia, Asia, Africa and South America. There are three varieties: white, yellow and red-brown dari. It should be noted that light dari is given more value than red-brown dari. As far as the food value in particular is concerned, there is not the slightest difference. In addition, the red-brown dari is well appreciated by agapornis. Dari can be compared to wheat in terms of starch content. The seed has a favorable composition of amino acids. The protein present in the dari has a particularly high leucine content.
Hemp seeds are highly nutritious and contain more essential fatty acids (EFAs) than any other source and are in second place, after soya, for their richness in highly digestible proteins, of high biological value. They are particularly recommended during the breeding seasons in order to stimulate the reproductive instinct of birds.
Niger seed is a bird seed 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.
The wild rose is a wild rose bush whose rose hips are consumed in autumn and are very rich in vitamin C.
Camelina seeds contain vitamins (vitamin E) and minerals (magnesium, zinc) that contribute to the proper functioning of the body and the maintenance of health.
They're rich in omega-3 fatty acids, healthy fats that support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy brain function.
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.
Yellow millet is rich in vitamins and minerals and is an alkaline (non-acidic) cereal. It is part of the basic diet of parakeets, exotic birds and exotic doves.
Millet contains magnesium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, manganese, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin PP (nicotinic acid) and vitamin B5.

The protein present in the dari has a particularly high leucine content.
Carrot seeds are very rich in vitamins with a high proportion of vitamin A and carotene, as well as vitamin B, calcium and valuable carbohydrates.
Chia is a sage. It is an annual plant that can grow up to 1 m tall and whose scientific name is Salvia hispanica.
The composition of chia seeds is closely related to that of other mucilaginous seeds such as flaxseed and psyllium. Unlike flaxseed, however, chia does not present anti-nutritional factors, factors that limit the use of flaxseed without prior heat treatment. Anti-nutritional factors are cyanogenic glucosides or linatins, inhibitors of vitamin B6 that prevent its action. Chia also has a much more pleasant taste than flaxseed and is more likely to be eaten by birds.
Clover stimulates the immune system and slows down cellular ageing through its excellent antioxidant properties. Rich in vitamins B, C, E and provitamin A.
Sunflower seed contains almost 40% fat, but also proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins B and E. We quantify on a sunflower seed nearly 600 Kcalories per 100 g.
It satisfies throughout the year, the needs of a wide variety of birds, including the smallest of them.
Sunflower seeds are a real treat for our birds who love them!
Chia is a sage. It is an annual plant that can reach 1 m in height, and its scientific name is Salvia hispanica.
The composition of the chia seed closely resembles that of other mucilaginous seeds like flaxseed and psyllium. Unlike flaxseed, chia does not have anti-nutritional factors, which limit the use of flaxseed without prior heat treatment. The anti-nutritional factors are cyanogenic glycosides or linatins, inhibitors of vitamin B6 that prevent its action. Chia also has a much more pleasant taste than flaxseed, and birds are more willing to consume it.
