Single ingredient bird food
Different bird species have different preferences when it comes to seeds. Some prefer small millet seeds, while others enjoy sunflower seeds. Oats can also be a useful addition to their diet, depending on their nutritional needs. Single ingredient bird food allows bird owners to choose individual seeds, adjust their proportions and combine them with suitable seed mixes.
Among the available brands, Avicentra offers a selection of yellow and red millet, hulled oats and sunflower seeds. These options make it easier to add specific seeds to a bird's daily diet according to its feeding requirements.

How to Choose the Right Seeds for Your Birds
Not all seeds provide the same nutrients. When choosing single ingredient bird food, it's important to consider the bird species, seed size and how much of each seed to include in its daily diet. Here are the main types of seeds and what to keep in mind when selecting them:
- Millet for birds: Yellow millet, red millet and millet sprays are suitable for many small seed-eating birds, including budgies, finches and zebra finches. Millet sprays also encourage natural foraging behaviour, allowing birds to pick seeds directly from the stalks.
- Sunflower seeds for birds: Black and striped sunflower seeds are rich in fat and provide additional energy for birds with higher energy requirements. Portions should be carefully controlled, especially when feeding smaller pet birds.
- Oats and canary seed for birds: Hulled oats add another type of grain to the diet, while canary seed can be mixed with other seeds to adjust the composition of a bird's feed.
Alongside individual seeds, Agros offers sunflower seeds and fat balls for wild birds. These are particularly useful for feeding garden birds during the colder months. When selecting bird food, it's important to distinguish between the dietary needs of pet birds and wild birds, and to adjust the feed composition to suit each species.
