Chia is sage. It is an annual plant up to 1 m tall whose scientific name is Salvia hispanica.
The composition of chia seed closely resembles that of other mucilaginous seeds such as flaxseeds and psyllium. Unlike flaxseed, however, chia does not have anti-nutritional factors, factors that limit the use of flaxseed without prior hot treatment. 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 consume it more willingly.

Chia sage seeds are rich in flavonols (myricetol, quercetol, kaempferol), flavonol glycosides, chlorogenic acids, and caffeic acid.
They are rich in protein and fiber. With a rate, admittedly variable, ranging from 16 to 23% of protein, they are above wheat (14.7%) and corn (14%). They are also very rich in lipids containing a high proportion of omega-3 acid (alpha-linolenic acid represents 68% of lipids or 21% of the total) and a favorable omega-3 to omega-6 ratio of around 3-4.
Strong points: Chia seeds provide a good source of calcium and phosphorus and a very good source of dietary fiber and manganese.
Chia has good antioxidant activity provided by its polyphenols (chlorogenic acids, caffeic acids and flavonols).
Niger, bird seeds rich in phosphorus and calcium. Niger seeds (or nyjer seeds) are fine seeds rich in oil. They come from Guizotia abyssinica (also called Oleiferous Guizotia). Niger is very popular with most birds, goldfinches and tarins love it.
Niger is one of the few bird seeds with a good calcium/phosphorus ratio.
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.
Rosehips are wild roses, whose rose hips are eaten in the fall, which are very rich in vitamin C.
Perilla Blanc seeds contain about 25% fat, 65% of which is omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid (AGPI): good fat!
Buckwheat is a seed that is very low in fat but rich in carbohydrates. This seed is ideal for feeding show finches and European birds.
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.
Dari, also known as sorghum, millet, is a variety of seeds that is attached to millet varieties. The dari has the size of the hemp seed. The seed is native to the warm regions of Australia, Asia, Africa and South America. There are three varieties: white, yellow and red-brown dari. It should be noted that light dari is given more value than red-brown dari. As far as the food value in particular is concerned, there is not the slightest difference. In addition, the red-brown dari is well appreciated by agapornis. Dari can be compared to wheat in terms of starch content. The seed has a favorable composition of amino acids. The protein present in the dari has a particularly high leucine content.
They have the property of binding to minerals such as calcium, iron and zinc and making them less bioavailable.
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.
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!
Millet is used in the diet of all birds: straight beaks and hooked beaks. In bunches, it's a treat they love.
Cluster millet has a good protein and carbohydrate content and also contains a large number of amino acids. Ideal for distracting your birds and thus avoiding pecking (feather pulling).
We advised giving red millet for exotic birds. It is richer in protein than yellow millet.
