In bird nutrition, “whole foods” are ingredients that wild birds could obtain in nature—fresh vegetables and fruits, seeds, nuts, herbs, coconut, edible flowers, insects, and items that are soaked or sprouted. In short, foods you can recognize at a glance.

With the exception of processed products such as pellets, supplements, and bird cookies, most of these are considered whole foods. (Seeds count as whole foods, too.)

Do not feed milk thistle seeds alone. Instead, offer them as part of a balanced diet together with other foods.

Ways to serve:

・Feed whole seeds
・Grind into powder
・Sprinkle over daily meals
・Brew into herbal tea
・Brew into cold-brew herbal tea
・Use as a foraging ingredient
・Add to a misting spray for bathing

We do not recommend feeding large amounts. As with any food, moderation is best.
If mixed into herbal tea or other foods, it can be offered daily. If feeding milk thistle seeds alone, we recommend limiting to no more than 3 times per week.

This product falls under the “Dried Foods” category.
Please blend it as part of various dried ingredients and feed according to the ratio shown in the chart.
Avoid overfeeding.

Please consume as soon as possible after opening, regardless of the best-by date.

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sets maximum “defect action levels” for incidental insect matter, and those limits vary by food type and manufacturing process. Because this product uses pesticide-free ingredients and contains no additives, incidental insects may occasionally be present. Insects associated with produce or herbs (i.e., whole foods) are a natural source of animal protein and are generally not harmful to birds; however, please remove them if you prefer. Returns or exchanges cannot be accepted for issues related to incidental insects.
