What Do I feed My Finches/Birds. Simple Sprouting/Germinating Seeds

Hi guys, a new video in the series about what I feed my birds - Finch diet.
Today sprouting/germinating seeds. They are a great source of protein for your finches. They are also packed with enzymes, vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids the birds need. They are an essential part of the food regime during the breeding season and the birds love it. In previous videos, you have seen me use it to condition my birds so today I am going to show you my simple process to germinate seeds.
Enjoy

Hello. The germinated seeds look good. I would try them....lol I'm glad to see the male society finch is singing. I hope the male owl finch is singing too. Looking forward to the next video update. Take care, Justine

[@MrAviary]

When the owl finch was alone in quarantine I thought I heard it singing twice now that it is with its female I have not. The first eggs are already laid so we hope for the best.

[@colesbackyardcoop]

@@MrAviary I hope so. If they built a nest, it should be male. Fingers crossed. Good luck!

[@leogircha9625]

It's like they are choping off the sprouts 🤔 do they eat it ?

[@jase123111]

I live in Thailand. I can't get any one those seeds, only the mung beans. and they cost a lot of money because they have import tax in them, bruh!!! So, I just used millets and my budgie seed mix. That worked great. Also, the Apple Cider Vinegar has import tax on it, so it's too expensive... like buying an expensive bottle of wine!!! I just used tap water... AND, I can't keep the seed cool. as it is usually mid 30's C here every day. But I had no problem with mold on or the seeds going bad so far.

Great that you fine another solution

Can I just germinate there normal seeds ( the ones you buy at the store ) and do it in a jar ? Like soak and strain and do it over a week or so

[@MrAviary]

No you need special seeds the normal seeds will germinate but with a much lower success rate. Which makes it not feasible

[@St333ve_]

Heyyy mijn society vogels hebben op het moment 3 eieren hoop dat ze uitkomen lijkt me super leuk. Jij ook succes moet het kweken!

[@MrAviary]

Spannend 🤞

[@St333ve_]

@@MrAviary Ja ze zitten wel in buiten voliere en het gaat wel koud worden komende dagen maar ik heb ergens gehoord dat de eieren best goed tegen kou kunnen dus hoop t maar.

[@birdbreeding8918]

@@St333ve_ Ik ben stiekem heel benieuwd hoe het gaat in je buitenvoliere. Zijn er al jongen? In onze buitenvoliere staat een nest met 3 kleine cubavinkjes op uitvliegen. Onvoorstelbaar dat ze de nachtvorst blijkbaar kunnen overwinnen.

[@St333ve_]

@@birdbreeding8918 Hahaha het gaat super goed bij mij had vier eitjes en alle 4 uitgekomen ook had ik 4 eieren van roodkoppapegaaiamadines en zijn ook alle 4 uitgekomen. morgen worden de 4 roodkoppapegaaien precies 2 weken en zaterdag de society vogels(loodbekjes) 2 weken. Ik vond het erg spannend want roodkoppapegaai jongen kunnen niet goed over de kou had ik gelezen maar alsnog hebben ze de vorst overleefd en heb ik nu in totaal 8 jonge vogels in de voliere die volgende week uitvliegen en kijk er erg naar uit.

[@St333ve_]

@@birdbreeding8918 Gelukkig hebben jou cubavinken het ook overleefd vind het prachtige vogeltjes, Zelf heb ik er momenteel 2 een kweekkooi alleen plukt het popje de man helemaal kaal had al een beetje op internet gezocht en blijkt erg veel voorkomend te zijn heb ze al uit elkaar gehaald voor 3 weken ongeveer en toen ze bij elkaar kwamen plukte de pop hem meteen weer, Dus vroeg me af als ik ze in de voliere zet zouden ze het dan nog steeds doen of niet?

[@kindredspirit617]

This is probably a stupid question, but where do you keep the seeds while they're germinating? Do they need sunlight?

[@MrAviary]

No question is ever a stupid question. No they don't need sunlight preferably even more darkness than sunlight

[@anweshaghosh6733]

What camera do you use?

[@MrAviary]

Mostly a gopro or mobiel phone

[@keithstankus1050]

Where do you get button quail?

[@MrAviary]

From my connections. Naturally bred quails are harder to find each year

[@MAzam-em3lg]

My finches don't seem to eat sprouts. Perhaps mungbean seeds are too large for them. Any thoughts?.

[@MrAviary]

Maybe mix it with their normal seed or inside your egg food other it's just not for them

[@jammijams4149]

how long do they last for? I'm not sure what amount to feed two finches.

[@MrAviary]

If you put them in the refrigerator a couple of days. I have seen people freeze them in in small badges. For 2 finches I would give them the amount you see in the white bowl in the video.

[@gmtrumanandrade6145]

Can u also feed this to african finches?

[@MrAviary]

Yes I also use it for my African finches

[@tushartajave4186]

Just deep all your seeds for water,for 10 hrs,rinse the water
And keep it for 1.5 days
U save almost 48 HRS

[@thijszanting868]

Is this also good for other birds like diamond doves/ parakeets?

[@MrAviary]

Yes, this can be used for all species.

[@thijszanting868]

@@MrAviary that's great! I will definitely try this... Video idea: Safe plants for birds/aviary?

[@yusufabl8007]

I tried the same method. Is it normal to have a bad smell?

[@MrAviary]

No the seeds so smell fresh and definitely not sour. Did you use apple cider vinegar?

[@ranamagar2896]

Upload aviary video naa

[@MrAviary]

The aviary is empty at the moment because of the low temperatures outside

[@jiscotube4318]

Hey man can we pls talk on insta or any social media bc I'm planning to make an aviary and im not sure what birds to put in.

[@MrAviary]

Depends on the size of your aviary.

[@jiscotube4318]

I can make it as big as I want it to be maybe 5x 5x or something I have a huge garden but it gets really cold in the winter
