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

Carrots are very rich in vitamins with a high proportion of vitamin A and carotene, as well as vitamin B, calcium and valuable carbohydrates.
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.
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.
