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.
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.

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!
The peeled oats from Versele-Laga are a high-quality food primarily intended for birds. Offered in a 25 kg bag, these peeled oats are ideal for bird enthusiasts wishing to provide a nutritious and natural diet to their birds.
Peeled oats are rich in essential nutrients for birds.
Paddy rice seed or raw rice is perfectly suitable for exotic birds with strong beaks such as the Java sparrow and Asian-origin birds. This seed is also appreciated by parakeets, parrots, and exotic doves.
Canary seed is a grass, an annual plant that can reach up to 1m in height, with seeds found in the inflorescences. These seeds make up a significant portion of most bird seed mixes.
• Excellent for canaries, European and exotic birds, budgerigars, and large parakeets.
• EXTRA canary seeds have undergone additional cleaning and are of exceptional quality. Unique on the market!
The flaxseed consists of 40 to 45% oil and 25% protein. Flaxseed preserves very well. It contains, in particular, two fatty acids with similar names (both derived from the word "lin"), linolenic acid (an omega-3) and linoleic acid.
The seed is used in animal feed, particularly for laying hens for which an increase in the omega-3 content of the eggs is desired.
Due to these properties, this seed aids digestion.
Niger, bird seeds 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 favoured by most birds, with goldfinches and siskins being particularly fond of them.
Niger is one of the few bird seeds with a good calcium/phosphorus ratio.
This seed from switchgrass is rich in protein (12.6%) it also contains 60% carbohydrates and less than 5% fat.
It is the richest variety of millet in protein. Japanese millet is recommended to all breeders of exotics, natives, parakeets, large parakeets.
Radish seeds have antioxidant, detoxifying, draining, and decongestant properties.
Clover stimulates the immune system and slows down cellular ageing through its excellent antioxidant properties. Rich in vitamins B, C, E and provitamin A.
Chia is a sage. It is an annual plant that can grow up to 1 m tall and whose scientific name is Salvia hispanica.
The composition of chia seeds is closely related to that of other mucilaginous seeds such as flaxseed and psyllium. Unlike flaxseed, however, chia does not present anti-nutritional factors, factors that limit the use of flaxseed without prior heat treatment. Anti-nutritional factors are cyanogenic glucosides or linatins, inhibitors of vitamin B6 that prevent its action. Chia also has a much more pleasant taste than flaxseed and is more likely to be eaten by birds.
