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.

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.
Chicory seeds (cichorium intybus) are among the health seeds that come from wild plants. These seeds are rich in fiber and minerals and allow intestinal balance.
They purify the body and are also effective in case of indigestion.
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).
Sunflower seeds contain almost 40% fat, but also proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins B and E. A sunflower seed is estimated to have nearly 600 Kcalories per 100 g.
Throughout the year, it satisfies the needs of a wide variety of birds, including the smallest of them.
Sunflower seeds are a real delicacy for our birds who love them!
Clover stimulates the immune system and slows down cellular ageing through its excellent antioxidant properties. Rich in vitamins B, C, E and provitamin A.
Oatmeal or peeled oats are used in the composition of the basic mixtures of canaries and hooked beaks especially during the breeding and feeding period.
Its protein level is quite low, but it is a seed rich in energy.
