Flaxseed, or Linseed, is a small, shiny brown seed that is almost flat. These seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for healthy, attractive plumage in all birds. Linseed is also an excellent source of dietary fibre - aiding in the digestive health of your bird(s). A natural source of various antioxidants and micronutrients like zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins. Adding flaxseed to your feathered friends diet will improve their overall wellness.

Ingredients
100% Whole Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum)
Nutritional Analysis
Values are approximate per 100g whole flaxseed
| Calories | 550 |
| Protein | 19% |
| Fats | 43% |
| Fibre | 28% |
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.
| Most Species | up to 5% |
| High-Energy Species (Parrotlets, Macaws, etc.) | up to 10% |
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.
Storage Instructions
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.
