its recommended you give widowoers a pinch a day to help promote down fall , but also good for breeding as linseed contains selenium   and helps to grow good feathers

Good for the moult. Like some given on return fron races with a little barley. Especially after hard days and races. This is before the 3 peanuts of course which are given later. A natural laxertive and blood cleanser, along with barly

The best seed 1 can give your birds!

 

The omega 3 and 6 ratio of Linseed is the best you can get, 1 to 0.40.

Has lots of bits that seeds/grains/pulse's lack. A pinch each is all they require.
