Radish seeds have antioxidant, detoxifying, draining, and decongestant properties.

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

Millet is used in the diet of all birds: straight beaks and hooked beaks. In bunches, it's a treat they love.

Cluster millet has a good protein and carbohydrate content and also contains a large number of amino acids. Ideal for distracting your birds and thus avoiding pecking (feather pulling).

We advised giving red millet for exotic birds. It is richer in protein than yellow millet. 

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 sage. It is an annual plant up to 1 m tall whose scientific name is Salvia hispanica.

The composition of chia seed closely resembles that of other mucilaginous seeds such as flaxseeds and psyllium. Unlike flaxseed, however, chia does not have anti-nutritional factors, factors that limit the use of flaxseed without prior hot treatment. 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 consume it more willingly.

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.

Niger seed is a bird seed rich in phosphorus and calcium.

Niger seeds (or nyjer seeds) are fine seeds rich in oil.

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

The shuttle is almost similar to rapeseed, the difference lies in the bitter flavor of the latter. The shuttle seed is rich in protein and favorable to the improvement of song, so it is interesting during the breeding season in canaries. However, as this seed is quite fatty, we advise you not to exceed 10% of your shuttle mixture for colored canaries or posture canaries. For singing canaries, the shuttle softens the song and can therefore be used at 30% of the mixture: in the latter case, we advise you to accompany your bird's diet with liver support.

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.

Paddy rice seed or raw rice which is perfect for exotic big-beaked birds such as padda and birds of Asian descent. This seed is also appreciated by parakeets, parrots and exotic doves.
