While I have bought seed mixes in the past, I find there are far too many fatty seeds in them and many things my angels do not like. Due to this I started making notes of what was eaten and what there was too much of in purchased mixes and started making my own mix. Not only did this save me some dollars, but I am now very confident that my babies are getting a very healthy seed mix and one that wont cause fatty liver disease. Everything in this mix is organic, unsalted and human grade only!
star anise
buckwheat
coconut chips
chili pepper chunks
hemp seed
wheat kernels
Milk Thistle seed
oat groats
toasted soy nuts
pumpkin seed
flax seed
chia seed
walnuts
millet
barley
uncooked steel oats
dry whole wheat pasta
organic granola
roasted cashews
pine nuts
roasted corn
almonds
walnuts
This mix varies depending on what I find out shopping, but this gives you a good idea on how to make your own seed mix.
I do offer the occasional safflower seeds, but they are in moderation and for treats only.

I have a question. What kind of bird are you feeding this seed mix to?
Thank you

This is for all of my birds from small to Macaw….I use a food processor to chop up things for the smaller ones. This is only an example of what I put in my mix and I do change it up constantly but there are some basics in this that I feed all the time. The important good seeds like hemp, chia and flax are used always.
