Key Benefits

• A mix of carefully selected ingredients, with seed sizes matched to the bird's body and beak size.

• Linseed is a source of fatty acids such as Omega 3 and 6, supporting healthy skin and fine, bright plumage.
• Algae supports the immune system, provides strength and helps keep the bird in good health.
• Calcium in a highly absorbable form (calcium gluconate) supports the beak and bones.
