Seeds and nuts contain high-quality plant proteins and unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic acid. These nutrients support muscle development, coat condition, and a stable energy supply. By using only unroasted, unprocessed ingredients, the natural nutritional profile remains intact and unwanted additives are avoided.
Composition and quality control
Each batch is tested to ensure that the risks of mold formation or toxins are minimal. The mix contains, among other things, sunflower seeds, white safflower, walnut pieces, and unsulfured sweet almonds; all components are raw, unsalted, and dust-free to limit inhalation and exhalation of fine particles.
Suitable for which birds?
Seed and nut mixes are typically fed to medium to large curved-bills (e.g., amazons, grey parrots, macaws, cockatoos). Smaller seed-eaters such as parakeets can benefit from them provided the portion size is adjusted according to body weight and daily energy requirements.
Use within a balanced diet
Veterinary nutritional guidelines recommend that seeds and nuts make up about 5-10% of the daily ration, supplemented with fresh vegetables and limited fruit. This prevents deficiencies in calcium, vitamin A, and essential amino acids while still catering to natural foraging behavior.
