My birds favorite are sprouted bird seed "lawns". I grow them in a shallow dish on a damp paper towel after soaking overnight until they grow green shoots two inches long. Then I put their tiny green "lawn" for them to forage in on top their cage while they're out playing. They absolutely love it!

I use grapefruit seed extract to keep my sprouts from growing mold or bacteria. It works really well. I hope this gets more bird moms and dads to start sprouting!!🌾🌰🌱 It is a lot of what small birds eat in the wild. Thanks Donna!!💕

@treasuretrovel3816 2 года назад

China Prairie also recommends using grapefruit seed extract during the sprouting and they sell their own formulation. See my previous comment about the importance of fresh vs. dead grains and seeds.

@kagehikari4281 4 года назад

Thats really neat. Quite the difference with growth rate between some seeds. Looks pretty easy to set up and do. Will try and keep that in mind for any future birbs.

@treasuretrovel3816 2 года назад

The difference in growth rates in this demo is due to the degree of freshness/aliveness of the products Donna purchased.

I usually place the strainer in a large ziplock bag but I don't seal it. Keeps some moisture in and has enough air to prevent mold from growing

@ChillVibes245 3 года назад

I've actually purchased from my avian vet fresh seeds pack. All kinds of seeds in one small pack just right for my birds. Very healthy fresh seeds rather than dry ones. And of course egg millet for better egg laying and egg shells. Calcium is essential for birds.

@kathyrizzo4436 3 года назад

This makes me happy. My veteran told me to try sprouts for my bird . I have one budgie and he is a little over weight. He only eats seeds and some fruit and only corn for veggies. Also he wants what ever I eat but I know that’s not good. So I will try this but where do I get the sprouts seeds at ? There not at the pet stores.. And this video really helped me . Thank you I will save this video for sure.

@Loveofpets 3 года назад

Hi, you can find legumes and seeds at the grocery store to sprout. You can also sprout your budgie seed.

@treasuretrovel3816 2 года назад

China Prairie is a wonderful company in Sacramento, CA that sells clean, fresh seed mixes for sprouting. Purchasing a fresh mix from CP is a safer bet than making one's own mix and here is why: The reason that most of the barley and budgie seed did not sprout is because it is not fresh. Rule of thumb: When choosing a brand of budgie seed just for dry eating, take the time to sprout some to determine freshness. Some brands are less fresh. The seeds and beans that fail to sprout but have soaked are probably not a great thing. Hopefully the birds will leave these duds in the bowl as they are much more likely to harbor bacteria and mold. The sprouted, live seeds produce natural anti-bacterial and anti-mold substances. I don't recommend feeding the soaked, unsprouted barley. True, soaked seed/grain/legumes offer a different nutrition profile than their dried counterparts even if fed before they have put out a root tip. HOWEVER, that is only the case if the seeds are fresh and live and chemical changes are occurring inside the seed. Soaking dead seeds, on the other hand merely invites spoilage. Donna, in the future, don't feed soaked, dead barley, etc. P.S. Love your channel. Thanks for all the great videos.

@jima9356 4 года назад

Great video, very informative. Never knew anything about sprouting or how nutritious it is for birds. I am going to start with mung beans, but since they take a few days to sprout, would alfalfa sprouts now be good also; alfalfa sprouts are found fresh in supermarkets and i could start giving them to my budgies right now; what do you think?

@Loveofpets 4 года назад

Sure, sprout some alfalfa sprouts and your budgies should love it.

@emanhassan2646 4 года назад

Hello, your videos are great source of information. I have four month old pair of suncanore. They are loving and playful but they some time also bite my fingure or ears. Can you please tell how to stop their habit of bitting. Thanks

@Loveofpets 4 года назад

Hi, it's best to read their body language as to when they will bite to avoid being bit. They are babies so they will be nippy. Also try to redirect their biting by giving then something to do such as chewing on toys instead. Check out the channel called Birdtricks as they have bird training videos that may help you.

@leogircha9625 Год назад

Hi donna 😊❤ thanka for this . How long centimetres good for a dove ? I mean could they eat very larg sprout 🤔 ?

@Loveofpets Год назад

They could most likely eat any sprout that is on the smaller side. Green peas are larger. You can offer various sprouts and see with is easiest for them to eat. I would say the smaller the better

@amandakay789 2 года назад

I watched someone who was suppose to be a “pro” at this & she had an organic seed mix with Quinoa being one of the seeds & I’ve just been adding it to their diet Edit: so rinse well then soak 8 hours after that only rinse 2 times daily til sprouts?

@Loveofpets 2 года назад

Rinse more if it's hot or dry in your house. You don't want them to dry out.

@loveofbirds1975 2 года назад

I read if u put a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a cup of water for 45 mins, then you rinse. B4 the rest of your steps.

@Fralunke 4 года назад

What are your experiences with sprouts animating hens to lay eggs? My cockatiel hen started laying eggs (we're a household of females only lol) and it took me by surprise!

@Loveofpets 4 года назад

Sprouts or and soft food does encourage them to lay eggs unfortunately. Only feed dry food and dark leafy greens that are high in calcium. Take away greens if she continues but provide calcium so she does not get calcium deprived. Take away anything that resembles a nest.

@jima9356 4 года назад

After I received the Easysprout unit, I sprouted some mung beans and they are a great hit with my 4 budgies; finally I got them eating something nutritious. I tried sprouting brown lentils, but they did not sprout and the natural foods store only recommended I try red lentils. The store does not carry whole green peas for sprouting, they only carry split peas and could not recommend me trying to find green peas anywhere else. I could google it and would probably eventually come up with something. But I was wondering if you could add sprouting beans/seeds to your Amazon store ?. I would certainly buy mung beans, lentils, green peas, broccoli seeds. Any possibility?

@Loveofpets 4 года назад

That's great that you gave it a try. I will search for them and add to my store if I can find some. Try Sprouting their seed also as they may like it.

@hannahjm93 3 года назад

Once they're sprouted and being stored in the fridge, do you continue rinsing them twice a day and how long do they keep for?

@Loveofpets 3 года назад

Hi, I don't rinse them once in the fridge. They can keep for 3 to 5 days sometimes longer depending on what type of sprouts they are. Smell them and look for mold. If they smell bad or you see mold then don't use them.

@misty_blue 3 года назад

Thanks so much! One question: isn't it bad that the beans are raw? I'm just wondering because I read birds shouldn't eat raw beans, but maybe it's different when they're sprouted? 🤷‍♀️

@Loveofpets 3 года назад

The beans are safe when sprouted. Raw beans are not safe for birds to eat

@Loveofpets 3 года назад

Hi, I kept mine in the fridge for about a week at the longest. Some stay fresher's than others so check for mold or if they are limp etc then don't feed them. As a general rule I would say four days

@briannaflynn4268 4 года назад

Hey Donna I just wanted to ask some questions in regards to this video: 1. Are the sprouts served to your birds fresh after sprouting? (Not refrigerated right?) 2. How do you store remaining sprouts and how long are they good for? 3. If I begin to serve various sprouts to my budgies (who currently only eat seeds and fruits, not interested in fresh veggies), is this sufficient enough for their veggie intake? Love your birds, your energy, and your knowledge. ☺️🌾

@tithisings 2 года назад

i want these answers as well 😭 did your birds accept the sprouts well?

@samuelalvarez9030 2 года назад

My friend Leslie Moran has used sprouts for a long time to keep her birds healthy, and what she does is rinsing the sprouts before giving them to the birds so that they remain fresh in the food dishes. And sprouts can be easily stored in the fridge too! It doesn't affect to their nutrient content because the temperature is above freezing in the fridge. And it helps to keep them fresh for longer because the low temperature slows their growth👍 Also, good quality sprouts last about 3-5 days in the fridge AFTER sprouted.

Hello , I do sprouting as well , I love to see how the seeds grow.and my zebra finches like the smaller sprouts, my budgies thy is at anything. My love birds thy turn the bowl up side down. My canneries don’t eat much of that and my gauldian ‘ s thy just don’t tough them, don’t know why. My bourges thy don’t go for anything though. The love birds are also fussy though. I am trying to get the use to sprouting seeds and fruit. The only birds that will try anything is my budgies. My zebra finches , thy are curious and will go for the sprouts lettuce 🥬 and egg food. But the bourges thy don’t even try, or be curious. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ but I give to all of them, and who eats eat and don’t well I just take it out. My gouldians also didn’t go for the smaller sprouted seeds. So strange.i think it depends where thy where born..?

Keep offering the foods and try others. My Bourke's like sprouted canary, budgie and sunflower seeds

Love of Pets ..do you know I sprout all kinds of organic seeds for them, and lettuce, and nuts and carrots, and all veritable, thy don’t touch it...not at all . Only my budgies, eat everything, even the love birds don’t eat much sprouted seeds or other things I mentioned....so strange. And discouraging. As I want them to eat all those things that are good for them...🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤔

@Loveofpets 3 года назад

That is strange. Try offering first thing in the morning, remove any seeds they have in the cage or millet and they may eat it when hungry

@izabeau1953 3 года назад

Love of Pets ok will try that. Millet thy will pick on, but I will remove the seeds and give other foods. And see what thy will do ...😉👍🏻
