Look for sunflower seeds that are raw or check the food label for ingredients like oil and sodium. Although they can be good for you, sunflower seeds are high in calories, so be sure to watch your serving size. A 2-tbsp., or 1-oz., serving of seeds is 165 calories. You can enjoy sunflower seeds in a variety of ways. Snack on them alone or add them to your oatmeal, cold cereal or yogurt.
There isn't any opiate in sunflower seeds. Though, you should always read the ingredients to know what your feeding your bird. Just because birds love sunflower seeds and peanuts doesn't mean its good for them, they are high in fat and should be avoided and decreased from there diet but not completely taken out.Its usually the cheaper bags of food that have way to much sunflower seeds. lot of parrots fie young due to fatty liver disease or of heart attacks because of the high fat seed diets they are fed. However I have found that sunflower seeds are a great training aid, because it is a small treat that parrots LOVE.
