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.
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.
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.

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