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.

The composition of chia seeds closely resembles that of other mucilaginous seeds like flaxseeds and psyllium. Unlike flaxseeds, however, chia does not have anti-nutritional factors, which limit the use of flaxseeds without prior heat treatment. The anti-nutritional factors are cyanogenic glycosides or linatins, inhibitors of vitamin B6 that prevent its action. Additionally, chia has a much more pleasant taste than flaxseeds and birds consume it more readily.
Chia sage seeds are rich in flavonols (myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol), flavonol glycosides, chlorogenic acids, and caffeic acid.
They are rich in proteins and fibres. With a variable rate, ranging from 16 to 23% protein, they are higher than wheat (14.7%) and maize (14%). They are also very rich in lipids containing a high proportion of omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid represents 68% of the lipids or 21% of the total) and a favourable omega-3 to omega-6 ratio of around 3-4.
Strengths: Chia seeds provide a good source of calcium and phosphorus and a very good source of dietary fibre and manganese.
Chia has good antioxidant activity provided by its polyphenols (chlorogenic, caffeic acids, and flavonols).
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.
Perilla Blanc seeds contain about 25% fat, 65% of which is omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid (AGPI): good fat!
Extra wheat, very good quality, for all types of birds and ornamental animals, pigeons, chickens, parrots, parakeets, doves...
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.
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.
Pine seeds are a good source of Phosphorus, Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Iron, Vitamin E, K, B1, B2, B3, B9.
Clover stimulates the immune system and slows down cellular ageing through its excellent antioxidant properties. Rich in vitamins B, C, E and provitamin A.
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.
Unpeeled peanuts can be given to parrots as a treat.
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.
The Cardy seed is rich in protein and linoleic acid, which helps reduce cholesterol levels and therefore decreases the risk of heart disease. It is found in mixes for budgerigars and parrots, but also for native birds such as bullfinches.
Cardy seeds are high in fat. The amino acid proportions of the seed are very favourable, with a very high arginine content. The seed is low in lysine and methionine + cystine, while tryptophan is completely lacking.
Baked and crumbled wheat biscuit.
Rusk is particularly suitable for the absorption of moistened food.
Also ideal for mixing additives (vitamins, dyes, etc.) in food products
Ideal for moistening egg pie.
Composition: wheat, water, salt and yeast.
