Given its richness in vitamin E, it was (I explain why writing was) an excellent breeding promoter, especially for males to enter heat. Also on the coldest days he always supplied hemp, since it was a fat seed, birds spent those days with less difficulty.

In recent years I have stopped supplying hemp, since some seed traders have warned me that the hemp seeds that are marketed are now roasted. From the moment the seeds are roasted they are highly harmful to our birds. They started to toast the seeds so that the famous little plants are not born.

The blends I use still bring a small percentage of hemp, unfortunately.

But a good way to know if the seeds are good for our birds, is to try to germinate, if the seed to germinate is good for our birds, if the seed does not germinate, it is no good. This rule applies to all seeds.
