flax seeds (linseeds)

[smallonion]

Hi everyone,

Am I imagining this, or have I heard that flax seeds (sometimes called linseeds) can affect a bird's hormones? Humphrey LOVES these things, and obviously, I don' t give them often, but they really are a good motivational treat!

I have not heard flax- its actually hemp that affects birdie hormones

Effects in what way? Can you be more specific please? I'm about to order a seed mix that contains hemp seed and would like to know more, specifically how it might effect a female cockatiel.

Its an asphor...something that processes in the body in such a way it turns on hormones. Let me look it up so I can give you a complete explination
