Specifications

Key Benefits

• Energy-Dense Nutrition: High fat content provides the vital energy needed for metabolism and maintaining body temperature.

• Feather Health: Natural oils ensure your birds develop vibrant, silky, and strong feathers.

• Mental Stimulation: Cracking the shells provides a natural "foraging" activity that prevents boredom and feather-plucking in pet birds.

• Heart & Brain Health: Rich in essential fatty acids that support healthy organ function and cognitive alertness.

• High Palatability: A universal favorite that even the pickiest eaters will accept immediately.

• Clean & Safe: Triple-sifted to remove stalks, dust, and debris, ensuring a safe feeding experience.

Best Uses

• Daily treat for large and medium Parrots (Macaws, African Greys, Amazons).

• Training reward for hand-tame birds like Sun Conures and Cockatiels.

• Filling bird feeders on your terrace to attract local Chennai sparrows and parakeets.

• Mixing with other grains to create a customized "Master Blend" for your aviary.

Feeding & Storage Tips

• Portion Control: While highly nutritious, sunflower seeds are "treat-heavy." They should comprise about 10–15% of a pet bird's daily diet to prevent obesity.

• Fresh Water: Always provide plenty of fresh drinking water, as high-protein seeds can increase thirst.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to prevent the natural oils from turning rancid.

• Chennai Tip: Due to our local humidity, keep the seeds in a sealed steel or plastic jar to maintain that satisfying "crunch" that birds love.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I feed these to small birds like Budgies?

Yes, but they may need the seeds to be slightly crushed or offered as a limited treat due to the shell hardness. For Budgies, these are best as an occasional energy booster.

2. Are these seeds roasted or salted?

Absolutely not. These are 100% raw and natural, specifically for birds. Human-grade salted or roasted seeds are dangerous for bird health.

3. Will these attract wild birds to my balcony?

Yes! Sunflower seeds are the #1 preferred seed for attracting a wide variety of local birds in Chennai.

4. Why are some seeds striped and some black?

Striped seeds are generally larger with thicker shells (great for Parrots), while black oil seeds have thinner shells and more oil (great for smaller birds). We provide the best blend for overall health.
