I wasn't sure to post this here or in food and nutrition so I posted in both. When in breeding season I add crushed hemp seed to their seed diet (regular budgie mix) every other day I scatter it on top of their seed dishes only a pinch, is this good? I see other breeders do it but what is the purpose. I also know that it is full of nutrisiuos oils...I see it in egg food all the time as well.

 

Anyone else do this?

umm never heard of it till now. I did some checking first as it seem strange to me, know what come from it if planted.

The major obstacle to the sale of hemp seed as a food is that the species is currently listed on the National Food Code as a prohibited botanical for use as a foodstuff.

Well...in Southern Ontario Canada they sell CRUSHED HEMP SEED in bulk... very expensive but it is used in some foods.
