One thing worth knowing

No protein or fat analysis is published for this mix, so beyond "small millet and oil seeds," there isn't a nutritional figure on the card to compare it against another blend.

Why we chose it

Sizing the seed to the bird, rather than selling one blend for every cage bird regardless of beak size, is the kind of detail that actually matters day to day. Bucktons naming Bourke's specifically shows this wasn't just scaled down from a bigger parakeet mix.

Specifications

Type: Small millet and oil seed blend
Brand: Bucktons
Pack size: 20KG
Suitable for: Small parakeets, cockatiels, lovebirds

Full description

A Bourke's parakeet is a genuinely small bird, and a mix built around the bigger seeds some cage bird blends favour can simply be too much for a beak that size to manage comfortably.

Bucktons build this from yellow millet, wheat, oats, red millet, naked oats, canary seed, small dark stripe sunflower seeds, linseed, safflower seed, hempseed, buckwheat and oil. Bucktons describe it as an ideal blend of small millet and oil seeds specifically, rather than a general cage bird mix scaled down — the sunflower seed itself is the small dark stripe variety rather than a larger type.

Who it's for: owners of small parakeets, cockatiels or lovebirds who want seeds genuinely sized for a smaller beak, rather than a general-purpose cage bird mix.
