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 composition of chia seeds closely resembles that of other mucilaginous seeds like flaxseeds and psyllium. Unlike flaxseeds, however, chia does not have anti-nutritional factors, which limit the use of flaxseeds without prior heat treatment. The anti-nutritional factors are cyanogenic glycosides or linatins, inhibitors of vitamin B6 that prevent its action. Additionally, chia has a much more pleasant taste than flaxseeds and birds consume it more readily.
Chia sage seeds are rich in flavonols (myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol), flavonol glycosides, chlorogenic acids, and caffeic acid.
They are rich in proteins and fibres. With a variable rate, ranging from 16 to 23% protein, they are higher than wheat (14.7%) and maize (14%). They are also very rich in lipids containing a high proportion of omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid represents 68% of the lipids or 21% of the total) and a favourable omega-3 to omega-6 ratio of around 3-4.
Strengths: Chia seeds provide a good source of calcium and phosphorus and a very good source of dietary fibre and manganese.
Chia has good antioxidant activity provided by its polyphenols (chlorogenic, caffeic acids, and flavonols).

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.

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.
