The milk thistle seed has hepatoprotective properties. It is therefore excellent for our birds to prevent liver problems.
The milk thistle seed possesses hepatoprotective properties. It is therefore excellent for our birds to prevent liver problems as a precautionary measure.
Milk thistle seeds primarily consist of:
- Flavolignans: silymarins, the liver-protecting agents,
- Flavonoids: quercetin, kaempferol, apigenin, etc.,
- Amines: tyramine, histamine, etc.,
- Lipids: fixed oils (30% oleic acid, 6% palmitic acid), phytosterols,
- Carbohydrates (38%),
- Proteins (23%).
Cardi seed is rich in protein and linoleic acid, which helps lower cholesterol levels and therefore reduce heart disease. It is found in parakeet and parrot mixes but also in 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.
Rosehips are wild roses, whose rose hips are eaten in the fall, which are very rich in vitamin C.
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.
Niger seeds for birds rich in phosphorus and calcium. Niger seeds (or nyjer seeds) are fine seeds rich in oil. They come from the Guizotia abyssinica (also known as Guizotia oleifera). Niger is highly prized by most birds, and goldfinches and siskins are particularly fond of 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!
Canary grass is a nutritious seed particularly appreciated by many birds. Its high protein and fibre content makes it an essential food for the good health and vitality of birds. It is especially ideal for canaries, budgerigars, serins, and other small exotic birds.
Characteristics:
- Ingredients: 100% natural canary grass.
- Appearance: Elongated seeds, from pale yellow to light brown in colour.
- Nutritional Value: Rich in proteins (about 16%), fibres, and essential amino acids.
- Benefits:
- Promotes good digestion thanks to its fibre content.
- Contributes to the shine of plumage.
- Provides the necessary energy for birds' daily activities.
Properties of Pine or Larix seeds.
Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antispasmodic,
Antiseptic, anti-infectious (pneumococci),
Decongestant of the small pelvis and prostate,
Diuretic
Expectorant, tonic for the respiratory organs.
Couscous is a hard grain semolina that is steamed until the small grains are obtained, which are then dried. Couscous is excellent for supplementing the feeding food of nestlings or adults. Wet the couscous with hot water, let it swell for a few minutes then add to the egg food (for 1 teaspoon of couscous plan 4-5 teaspoons of food), coloring, fruit.
Chia is a sage. It is an annual plant that can reach up to 1 meter in height, with the scientific name Salvia hispanica.
The composition of chia seeds closely resembles that of other mucilaginous seeds like flaxseeds and psyllium. Unlike flaxseeds, chia does not have anti-nutritional factors, which limit the use of flaxseeds without prior heat treatment. Anti-nutritional factors are cyanogenic glucosides or linatins, inhibitors of vitamin B6 that prevent its action. Moreover, chia has a much more pleasant taste than flaxseeds, and birds consume it more readily.
They have the property of binding to minerals such as calcium, iron and zinc and making them less bioavailable.
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.
The sunflower seed contains nearly 40% lipids, but also proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins B and E. A sunflower seed contains approximately 600 kilocalories per 100 g.
It meets the needs of a wide variety of birds throughout the year, including the smallest among them.
Sunflower seeds are a real treat for our birds who love them!
Peeled peanuts are treats highly appreciated by parrots.
They should be distributed sparingly as they are rich.
An ideal food to fill your feeders for wild birds, they will provide the necessary fat for birds to get through the winter more easily.
A favourite of tits and a real delicacy for many birds.
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.
Seeds for canaries and exotic and native birds.
