Foniopaddy Seed is a natural grass seed grown on our plantations in Uganda. Scientific research has shown that Foniopaddy has a beneficial effect on coccidiosis.
Buckwheat is a nutritious seed often included in the diet of cage and aviary birds.
- Appearance: Buckwheat is a triangular seed, light brown to greyish in colour, with a slightly rough shell.
Benefits for Birds:
- Balanced Nutrition: Buckwheat offers a combination of proteins, carbohydrates, and fibres, contributing to a balanced diet.
- Energy: The complex carbohydrates provide a sustainable source of energy for the birds' daily activities.
- Digestive System: The fibres promote good digestion and a healthy intestinal regulation.
- Proteins: The proteins in buckwheat support growth, reproduction, and the maintenance of muscle mass in birds.
Millet is used in the diet of all birds: straight beaks and hooked beaks. In clusters, it's a delicacy they love.
Millet in clusters has a good protein and carbohydrate content and it also contains a large number of amino acids. Ideal to distract your birds and thus avoid pecking (pulling feathers).
We advised to give red millet for exotic birds. It is richer in protein than yellow millet.
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.
Improves liver and overall health of birds.
Suitable for a wide range of birds, including parrots, canaries, budgerigars, and other exotic birds.
Benefits for birds:
- Liver support.
- Detoxification: Helps eliminate toxins from the liver and improves digestion.
- Strengthening the immune system.
Instructions for use:
Dosage: Add a small amount (usually a teaspoon per day) to the birds' usual seeds. The amount may vary depending on the size and specific needs of the birds. Can be mixed with the birds' daily food.
Precautions:
Store in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

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.
Turnip is almost similar to rapeseed, the difference is the more bitter flavor of the latter. Turnip seed is rich in protein and favourable to the improvement of song, so it is interesting during the breeding season in canaries.
A type of seed with a mild taste and high protein content. They are also high in fat.
This seed is quite fatty, we advise you not to exceed 10% of your shuttle mix 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.
Striated sunflower is the basic seed of any parrot mixture. It is also used in mixtures for parakeets and exotic doves.

Remember to regularly clean the feeders of your outdoor birds so that diseases and bacteria do not thrive.
Also consider setting feeders high up to prevent predators (such as cats, foxes, etc.) from targeting birds when they are eating.
