Chicory seeds (cichorium intybus) are among the health seeds that come from wild plants. These seeds are rich in fiber and minerals and allow intestinal balance.

They purify the body and are also effective in case of indigestion.

Seeds for canaries and exotic and native birds.

Cardi seed is rich in protein and linoleic acid, which helps lower cholesterol levels and therefore reduce heart disease. It is found in budgie and parrot mixes but also for 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.

Oatmeal or peeled oats are used in the composition of the basic mixtures of canaries and hooked beaks especially during the breeding and feeding period.

Its protein level is quite low, but it is a seed rich in energy.

Crude protein: 13%

Fat: 8%

Carbohydrates: 68%

Phosphorus: 0.4%

Calcium: 0.09%

Common names:

Cardère sauvage, Cabaret des oiseaux, Lavoir-de-Venus, Peigne-à-Loup [Fr], Grote kaardebol [Nl], Wilde Karde [De], Cardo dei lanaioli, Scardaccione selvatico [ Il], Cardencha, Cardo de cardador [Es].

The milk thistle seed has hepatoprotective properties. It is therefore excellent for our birds to prevent liver problems.

The evening primrose is an annual or biennial, rustic, which can be found naturally at the edge of paths near the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts but also on the embankments of railways. Its erect stems are lined with large rosettes of downy leaves veined with red, between 10 and 30 cm long, oblong in shape, lanceolate, toothed, a little sticky.

Niger, birdseed rich in phosphorus and calcium. Niger seeds (or nyjer seeds) are fine seeds rich in oil. They come from Guizotia abyssinica (also known as Guizotia oleiferous). The niger is highly prized by most birds, goldfinches and siskins love it.

The seed is mainly grown in India, Burma, Ethiopia and Nepal. Niger is an oilseed with a high fat content (38-43%) and protein content (23%). It provides quality food for all species of wild and forest birds, both in dry and sprouted form.

Niger is one of the few birdseeds with a good ratio of calcium to phosphorus.

Pumpkin seeds.

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.

Flaxseed is composed of 40 to 45% oil and 25% protein. Flaxseed keeps very well. In particular, it contains two fatty acids with similar names (and whose root is the word "flax"), linolenic acid (an omega 3) and linoleic acid.

The seed is used in animal feed, especially for laying hens whose omega 3 content is to be increased.

Through these properties, this seed promotes digestion.

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.

Clover stimulates the immune system and slows down cellular ageing through its excellent antioxidant properties. Rich in vitamins B, C, E and provitamin A.

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.
