Description

Three organic seeds, nothing else: flax, hemp and chia. Between them they carry a minimum of 14% omega-3 and 8% omega-6 in their whole, natural state — no extraction, no oil, no capsule.

Most companion birds eat a diet that is heavy on omega-6 and short on omega-3. Owners notice the consequences before they name them: dull feathers, dry flaky skin, a moult that drags on. JumpStart Omega is the simplest way to put the balance back.

How to feed it

  • Small birds: the amounts on the pack chart.
  • Larger birds: grind it fresh daily and stir it through a little moist vegetable, or into a mash.
  • It can also go straight into chop, be mixed into soft food, or be sprouted.
  • Do not microwave or cook it. Heat destroys the omega-3 you are paying for.

Grind only what you need for the day — ground flax and chia oxidise quickly once the seed coat is broken.

Who it helps most

  • Birds coming through a heavy or prolonged moult.
  • Birds with dry, flaky skin or poor feather condition.
  • Greys, cockatoos and other species prone to feather problems.
  • Any bird on a diet that leans heavily on sunflower and safflower.

Feather destructive behaviour has many causes, most of them not dietary. If your bird is plucking, see an avian vet — a seed supplement is not a treatment.

Questions we get asked

Is this a complete food?
No, it is a supplement fed alongside a balanced diet.

How is it different from an omega-3 oil?
The fats are still inside the seed, protected from air and light, so they stay intact far longer than oil in a bottle.

Can birds digest whole flax?
Small birds crack the seed readily. For large parrots, grinding it makes the omega-3 far more available — which is why Harrison's suggest grinding for bigger species.

How should I store it?
Sealed, cool and dark. The fridge or freezer is better still.
