Feeding Suggestions

Flax is rich in fats and proteins, best fed in a blend of other seeds or in a controlled portion. Breeding, molting, or ill birds may benefit from slightly more flaxseed. The table below is a guideline percentage of the bird's daily diet. Monitor your bird's health and condition. Make adjustments accordingly.

Consider the ration in relation to other things your bird is consuming. Flaxseeds are high in fat, birds eating an abundance of other rich seeds (hemp, oats, sunflower) may do better with a smaller portion offered. As with all foods, variety is important.

Store seeds in a cool, dry location. Allow airflow to prevent the development of molds that may cause illness like Aspergillosis. For extended storage periods (longer than 3-4 months), store in the freezer.
