Manitoba Small Striped Sunflower Seeds are a premium single-ingredient feed sourced and processed in Italy. This 12.5kg bulk pack features selected small-sized seeds, which are preferred for medium-sized parrots (like Senegals or Conures) and large parakeets (like Ringnecks) due to their thinner shells and manageable size. These seeds are an excellent source of high-quality fats, Vitamin E, and essential minerals, providing the concentrated energy necessary for active birds.

Key Benefits:

• Energy Dense: Packed with natural oils that support metabolic health and provide stamina for flight and singing.

• Optimized Size: The "small" variety ensures birds with medium-strength beaks can easily crack the shells, reducing frustration and waste.

• Feather Conditioning: High Vitamin E and fatty acid content promote a glossy, healthy sheen and aid in soft feather texture.

• Triple-Cleaned: Thoroughly processed to eliminate dust and empty hulls, ensuring a safe and hygienic feeding experience.

Intended Uses:

• As a high-energy supplement to a balanced primary diet.

• Ideal for outdoor aviaries during colder months to help birds maintain body temperature.

• Can be used as a base ingredient for breeders creating their own custom seed blends.

Safety & Warnings:

• Balanced Diet: Sunflower seeds are high in fat; they should be fed as part of a varied diet (including pellets and vegetables) to prevent obesity and "fatty liver" disease.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. The high oil content makes these seeds susceptible to rancidity if exposed to heat or moisture.

• Freshness: Always provide fresh water, as high-protein and high-fat seeds increase the bird's thirst.
