Collection: Bird Seed

Diet specially formulated to maintain bright feather colour in red canaries.

Key Features

• Keeps Canaries Red: Seed mix is fortified with the red carotenoid pigment canthaxanthin.
• Unique Infusion Process: Canthaxnthin is absorbed into the kernel of the seed, meaning it is readily consumed by the bird and available during feather growth.
• Simple & Effective: Providing canthaxanthin in the seed is more effective than dosing drinking water, as it is non-messy, reduces waste and ensures optimum intake.

Ingredients

Canary Seed, Hulled Oats, French White Millet, Japanese Millet, Canola, Linseed, Canthaxanthin (50mg/kg). Some seasonal variation in seed content and composition may occur.

Active Constituent

Red Factor Canary Seed should be available to birds whenever they are growing new feathers. Supplementation only affects the colour of growing feathers, not existing ones, so colour change may not be seen until the next moult. It only affects canaries with red factor genetics.

During primary moult: (summer-autumn)

Feed as 100% of the seed component of the diet, just prior to and during feather moult.

Rest of the year

Feed as at least 50% of the usual seed diet. This will maintain sufficient levels of canthaxanthin in the bloodstream to account for any out-of-season moulting.

If feeding seed as the main diet, birds can become deficient in vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids, particularly when breeding. We recommend supplementing with Egg & Biscuit or Crumbles, which contain a balance of these essential nutrients. Also offer a range of fresh seeding grasses, leafy greens and finely diced vegetables.

Complete food for rearing and supplementing insectivorous and carnivorous birds.
This includes magpies, kookaburras, birds of prey & seabirds.

Key Features

• High Protein – 52% protein which is the highest level of any commercial bird diet .
• Calcium for Bones– balances meat and egg food mixes.
• Ideal Live Food Replacer – replicates the nutrient content of an insect or whole prey diet.
• Low in Carbohydrates – no wheat, rice or cereal fillers.

Directions for Use

Prepared food may be stored refrigerated for a day or frozen for up to 2 weeks. Do not add extra vitamin, mineral or concentrated food supplements to these diets.

Meat Mix

Mix 10g (1 level scoop) of powder with 20g of minced meat or fish.

A little water may be necessary to moisten the preparation. Always use good quality meat as a base. Feed as a maintenance diet to magpies, ravens, kookaburras, frogmouths, raptors and seabirds.

Egg Mix

Mix 20g (2 level scoops) of powder with 1 large hard-boiled egg.

Mash the egg with a fork and then slowly add the powder to turn into a crumbly mass. Feed as a maintenance diet to small insectivores (e.g. wrens, robins), waders or to orphaned precocial chicks. Mix in live insects to encourage intake. Can also be used as a protein supplement for softbills, songbirds, breeding finches & parrots.

Moist Pellets

Mix 10g (2 level scoops) of powder with 12mL of warm water.

Slowly add the water and mix to a putty-like consistency. Break small pieces from the prepared mix and roll into pellets for feeding. Extra water should be offered by mouth when feeding pellets. Use as a rearing food for orphan magpies, ravens, kookaburras or frogmouths.

Liquid Slurry

Add 10g (1 level scoop) of powder with 15mL of warm water.

Slowly add water and mix to make a slurry. Let the mix stand for 2 minutes to absorb all the water. If too thick, add more water and continue mixing. Feed at about 30°C using a spoon or syringe and tube. Use as a force-feeding formula for sick birds or orphaned altricial chicks.

Raptors & Seabirds (Whole-body eaters)

Stuff 10g (1 level scoop) of powder per 100g of whole fish, rodent or day old chick.

Cavities may be stuffed by preparing as a slurry and using a syringe.
