So parvo if I have a sick hen recovering from illness and has lost lots of weight would it be a good idea to give her sunflower being its high in fat?


Sorry this is late. Yes, it will help her to recover assuming her gut is working normally.

Would it make any difference if it was fed fresh home grown and not completely rip or dry like you buy. I know most of the sunflower seed is dried and can be quite old before its used in the seed or chook food


The fresher the better. If the birds will eat it before it has dried then it will be more nutritious. Dry seed is in "storage mode". Growing seed is metabolically more active and usually nutritionally superior to dry seed.

I was alway told that grey sunflower was best for parrots as black had more oil?
