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).
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!
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.
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.
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.
Chenopodium quinoa is an annual plant, one to two meters tall or more. The central stem is cylindrical at the collar and becomes more angular higher. It can be unique or have many ramifications, with a diameter ranging from one to eight centimeters and a height of 0.5 to 3 m, depending on the varieties and growing conditions such as seeding density or fertilization9. Its color is also very variable: uniformly green, green with purple or red streaks, or uniformly red.
These seeds rich in lipids and proteins are especially appreciated by wild birds. They will attract sizerins, reeds, goldfinches, black-headed chickadees, sparrows, sad doves and a host of other birds to your garden. It is often used as a replacement for the more expensive shuttle.
Rowan berry in dried fruit form, which hooked beaks, native birds, and tropical birds are fond of. Use it to enrich your seed mixes or as treats. Dried fruits have a very long shelf life. Use them daily and in every season for a balanced diet to avoid deficiencies.
Dari, also known as sorghum or millet, is a variety of grain that is related to millet varieties. Dari is the size of a hemp seed. The grain originates from the warm regions of Australia, Asia, Africa, and South America. There are three varieties: white dari, yellow dari, and reddish-brown dari. It is noteworthy that more value is attributed to light dari than to reddish-brown dari. Regarding nutritional value, there is not the slightest difference. Furthermore, reddish-brown dari is well appreciated by lovebirds. Dari can be compared to wheat in terms of starch content. The seed has a favourable composition of amino acids. The protein present in dari has a particularly high leucine content.
High-quality raw material for pigeons and chickens.
Superior quality.
Deep cleaned repeatedly.
Dust-free.
