That makes them much easier for smaller birds to eat than whole feed oats, which is why they are a popular ingredient in blends for budgies, cockatiels, lovebirds, canaries, finches and other compatible grain-eating birds. Add them to a balanced seed mix or offer them in controlled amounts as part of a varied diet. Available in 1kg, 2kg, 4kg and bulk 20kg bags, there is a size for single pets right through to breeders and aviaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Hulled Oats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe big difference with hulled oats is the missing husk. With whole oats, birds have to crack and discard the fibrous outer hull first, which many small birds struggle with and which leaves a pile of empty husks in the feeder. Hulled oats skip that step: the kernel is ready to eat, so more of what you put in the bowl actually gets eaten, with less mess. They are a soft, palatable grain that works well in small-bird, parrot and conditioning blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Birds It Suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHulled oats suit budgies, cockatiels, peachfaces and lovebirds, canaries, finches and small parrots, as well as pigeons and larger grain-eating birds and other compatible aviary species. The de-husked kernel opens the grain up to smaller birds that would otherwise leave whole oats untouched. How much to include depends on the species, activity level and the rest of the diet, and hulled oats should not become the one seed birds pick out and gorge on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart of a Balanced Diet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHulled oats are a single feed ingredient, so on their own they do not provide every nutrient birds need for long-term health. They are best offered alongside other species-appropriate foods, which may include a suitable formulated diet, vegetables and controlled amounts of other seeds and grains. The right balance varies between species and individual birds, so adjust the diet to suit, and always provide clean, fresh drinking water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSoaking and Sprouting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHulled oats can be soaked for some feeding programs, but because the protective husk has been removed, they spoil faster than whole oats when wet, so extra care is needed. Prepare only a small amount with clean containers and fresh water, rinse well, keep soaked grain cool, remove uneaten moist food promptly, and never feed oats showing mould, fermentation or an off smell. They also may not sprout as reliably as whole oats, since the kernel can be nicked during de-husking, so whole intact oats are the better choice for sprouting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDe-husked oat kernels (oat groats \/ naked oats)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasier for small birds to eat than whole oats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits budgies, cockatiels, lovebirds, canaries and finches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft, palatable grain for seed and conditioning blends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves less discarded husk in the feeder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for household and aviary feeding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 1kg, 2kg, 4kg and bulk 20kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct: Avigrain Hulled Oats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain type: Hulled oats (de-husked)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso known as: Oat groats or naked oats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed form: Dry de-husked oat kernels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable sizes: 1kg, 2kg, 4kg, 20kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for: Budgies, cockatiels, lovebirds, canaries, finches, small parrots and compatible birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Avigrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Feed and Store\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd a controlled amount of hulled oats to a species-appropriate seed blend rather than feeding them alone, and introduce them gradually when changing the diet.
