The turnipseed is quite similar to rapeseed, with the difference being the more bitter flavour of the latter. Turnipseed is rich in protein and beneficial for enhancing singing, making it particularly interesting during the breeding season for canaries. However, as this seed is quite fatty, we recommend not exceeding 10% of your mix with turnipseed for colour canaries or posture canaries. For song canaries, turnipseed softens the song and can therefore be used at 30% of the mix: in this latter case, we recommend accompanying your bird's diet with liver support.
The rapeseed is almost similar to the canola seed, with the difference being the more bitter flavour of the latter. Rapeseed is rich in protein and beneficial for enhancing singing, making it particularly interesting during the breeding period for canaries. However, as this seed is quite fatty, we advise not to exceed 10% rapeseed in your mix for colour canaries or posture canaries. For singing canaries, rapeseed softens the song and can therefore be used at 30% of the mix: in this case, we recommend accompanying your bird's diet with liver support.

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 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.
