Hemp seeds, or hemp hearts, pack 9.5 grams of protein per ounce, making them the highest-protein seed. They’re also a complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids.
Dehulled hemp seeds (also known as hemp nuts, hemp kernels or hemp hearts) have a protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) of 0.66, with lysine being the limiting amino acid (digestibility of 92.1%). [3] [10] With its gluten content as low as 4.78 ppm, hemp is attracting attention as a gluten-free (<20 ppm) food material. [4] [9]
Oxalate (systematic IUPAC name: ethanedioate) is an anion with the chemical formula C 2 O 2− 4.This dianion is colorless. It occurs naturally, including in some foods. It forms a variety of salts, for example sodium oxalate (Na 2 C 2 O 4), and several esters such as dimethyl oxalate ((CH 3) 2 C 2 O 4).
The species complex was first described by the ornithologist John Latham in 1790 as Psittacus banksii, [4] commemorating English botanist Sir Joseph Banks.The red-tailed black cockatoo also has the distinction of being the first bird from Eastern Australia illustrated by a European, as a female, presumably collected at Endeavour River in north Queensland, was sketched by Banks' draughtsman ...
The diet consists mainly of seeds, buds, fruits, nuts and herbaceous plants. In 2022, Birdlife International recognized the citron-crested cockatoo as a separate species, Cacatua citrinocristata, assessed as Critically Endangered, [2] while the International Ornithological Congress designated it to be a species in 2023.

The sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) is a relatively large white cockatoo found in wooded habitats in Australia, New Guinea, and some of the islands of Indonesia. They can be locally very numerous, leading to them sometimes being considered pests .
The salmon-crested cockatoo (Cacatua moluccensis), also known as the Moluccan cockatoo, is a cockatoo endemic to the Seram archipelago in eastern Indonesia. At a height of up to 46–52 cm (1.51–1.71 ft) and weight of up to 850 g (1.87 lb), it is among the largest of the white cockatoos. The female is slightly smaller than the male on average.
Greater sulphur-crested cockatoos feed on flowers, seeds, grasses, fruits, and roots. They occasionally eat insect larvae. Since the early 1900s they have been documented stealing crops and seeds from Australian farmers. A few individuals will scout farms that have freshly sown seeds or plants that have just begun to sprout.
