Why do Parrots need seed?
Although parrots can not be fed solely on a seed based diet, seed still form a very important part of their diet. Not only do seeds have a number of healthy nutrients, but parrots enjoy opening, cracking, and shredding the hulls of seeds to get at the tasty centres. This helps to fulfil your parrot’s psychological need to forage for its food.
Seeds embody many nutrients such as: protein; vitamins A, B, D, and E; as well as lipids and fatty acids. Without lipids in the diet a parrot cannot absorb the fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E and K). Fatty acids are broken into two categories: essential and non-essential.
Non-essential fatty acids can be manufactured by a healthy parrot’s body if they are provided the proper balance of vitamins and minerals.
Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) are nutrients that the body cannot manufacture and therefore must be supplemented from dietary sources.

Please remember that seed is NOT a complete diet. You do need to add a variety of fresh vegetables and fruit to your parrots’ diet. Research ‘CHOP Recipes for Parrots’.

Excerpt from Livingseeds Heirloom Seeds:
Nothing beats the superiority of real food! Sprouted seed provides you with the convenience and quality of a nutrient dense super-food in a small package. In their initial growth phase, sprouted seed has exceptionally high amounts of active nutrients that are easily assimilated by your body. Some quick examples are:
- Highly available source of vitamins: Sprouted seed has dramatically increased vitamin content, one can often see a 30 fold increase in naturally bio-available vitamins.
- Increased bio-availability of minerals: Not all minerals are equal, the minerals available in sprouted seed are in a uniquely active form, which enables your body to absorb and them immediately.
- Highly available enzymes: For your body to function efficiently, enzymes are essential. The concentrated source of enzymes found in fresh sprouts assists your body in performing at its optimum level.
- Increased essential fatty acid levels: Fatty acids are essential for the vital functions of your body. Sprouts have increased levels of these naturally occurring fatty acids that your body uses for its day to day processes.
- Increased fibre and mucilage content: The modern diet is often severely lacking in both fibre and mucilage. Sprouts deliver a very high level of these important, cleansing and health boosting types of fibre, all in a simple, nutritious and tasty package.
- High in vegetable proteins: Sprouts are packed with high quality proteins that are easily utilised by the body.
