One thing worth knowing

No protein percentage is published for this specific mix — the "higher protein" description refers to canary seed generally rather than an analysed figure for this bag. If you want a number to compare it against a rival mix, this card doesn't have one.

Why we chose it

Canary seed at half the mix is a genuinely different balance to the millet-forward blends most budgie feeds use, and Johnston & Jeff's reputation in this niche means the recipe isn't an afterthought. It's a straightforward, focused mix rather than trying to be everything to every cage bird.

— Matt, founder

Specifications

Type: Canary-seed-forward mix
Brand: Johnston & Jeff
Pack size: 20KG
Suitable for: Budgerigars

Full description

A budgie mix built around one dominant seed type behaves differently to a scattergun blend of a dozen ingredients — fewer things for a fussy bird to sort through, and a clearer idea of what's actually in the bowl once the husks are gone.

Johnston & Jeff build this around canary seed at 50% of the mix, blended with soft white millet and small, easily digestible panicum millet, plus red millet and vegetable oil. The maker describes canary seed as carrying higher protein than most millets, with the softer millets added for easy digestion alongside it.

One thing worth knowing. No protein percentage is published for this specific mix — the "higher protein" description refers to canary seed generally rather than an analysed figure for this bag. If you want a number to compare it against a rival mix, this card doesn't have one.

Who it's for: budgerigar owners who want a canary-seed-forward mix rather than a wide multi-seed blend, and who are feeding budgies specifically rather than a mixed aviary of species.

Common questions

What's in the mix?

Is this suitable for other cage birds, not just budgies?

It's formulated as a budgerigar seed specifically, built around canary seed and millets rather than a general cage bird blend.

Is a protein analysis published?

No, the card describes canary seed generally as higher in protein than most millets, without an analysed figure for this specific mix.
