Rosehips are wild roses, whose rose hips are eaten in the fall, which are very rich in vitamin C.
They have the property of binding to minerals such as calcium, iron and zinc and making them less bioavailable.
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.
Spinach seeds contain vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B7, B9 and C, mineral salts and trace elements. Regular consumption helps to strengthen the feathers.
Niger, birdseed rich in phosphorus and calcium. Niger seeds (or nyjer seeds) are fine seeds rich in oil. They come from Guizotia abyssinica (also known as Guizotia oleiferous). The niger is highly prized by most birds, goldfinches and siskins love it.
The seed is mainly grown in India, Burma, Ethiopia and Nepal. Niger is an oilseed with a high fat content (38-43%) and protein content (23%). It provides quality food for all species of wild and forest birds, both in dry and sprouted form.
Niger is one of the few birdseeds with a good ratio of calcium to phosphorus.
A 100% natural product that is mixed with breeding or with food; It doubles in size by adding water.
Carrots are very rich in vitamins with a high proportion of vitamin A and carotene, as well as vitamin B, calcium and valuable carbohydrates.
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.
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).
Hemp seeds are very nutritious and contain more essential fatty acids (EFAs) than any other source and rank second, after soybeans, for their richness in highly digestible proteins of high biological value. They are particularly recommended during reproduction periods to stimulate the reproductive instinct of birds.
Common names:
Wild teasel, Birds' cabaret, Venus' basin, Wolf's comb [Fr], Grote kaardebol [Nl], Wilde Karde [De], Cardo dei lanaioli, Scardaccione selvatico [Il], Cardencha, Cardo de cardador [Es].
Radish seeds have antioxidant, detoxifying, draining, and decongestant properties.
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.
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.
