Thank you so much for this video. I'm so glad I saw it. I have 4 parakeets 1 cockitail and waiting on a green cheek conjure.
Plz don't get any more birds first learn how to spell them correctly
Thank-you for this video for sprouting seeds. Does this exact steps work for sprouting millet sprays or will I have to tweak it? I have heard to put container on top of a warm place overnight like top of a refrigerator where it is warm....& then use Aviclens to keep unwanted fungus etc...from growing....Do I need to do all of these steps....I live in north texas where it is warlike Florida. Need help please. I learn by watching more than by reading as all of the words seem to go on forever. Thank-you for simplifying your video. I have not attempted other printed information as it seemed to be too overwhelming to me.
Thank you so much for your video. You explained the process so well and made it easy to do. I followed your instruction and just did this for the first time 2 days ago. I am in Thailand, so it's really hot, and my seeds are already sprouting in 2 days, with long roots / sprouts coming out. I just fed some to my Gouldian finches and budgies, they seem scared of it so far, but I have seen a few sample them... so hopefully later they will get into eating them and get healthy food. PS, how long can I keep the sprouted seeds fresh? I can i put them in the fridge? Thank you.
Thank you love your videos
Thankyou
Excellent, easy to understand video! I give sprouted seed to my birds daily. So much more nutritious. Thanks for sharing this!
Thankyou and yes they are a great source of nutrition!
Question does the sprouted seed you make have a bad odor? after few days

Buen vídeo amigo un saludo
Gracias amigo saludos
My birds love sprouts.
Same here all the birds race to the food dishes when I serve it. Also very nutritious and healthy for them
Do you leave the strainer like that for three days or do you do the process again for three days?
When you leave them in the strainer should it be exposed to the sun or hidden in a closet at room temperature
Un saludo amigo😀👍👋👋👋

Everything on your channel is helpful and quality content 👍
Thank you so much Cassie Gopalakrishna
i did the same thing with the strainer but it’s day 2 and the seeds have this weird sweet smell. this is my second batch. it’s not sticky this time but i’m hesitant to throw it away. what are sprouting seeds even supposed to smell like?!
Will any seed mix work for sprouted seeds? Like a finch mix from the pet store??
A seed accidentally sprouted in my bird's water dish 😶 it's just, chilling in a cup now
What seeds are u soaking
is sprouted red sorghum safe on my african lovebirds?
I love this vid hopefully it will work for me because I have a different brand,
My question is how often and how much should you give zebra finches?
don't bother, they're fine with just seed, give them veggies or fruit for a treat, exotics are more needy if you want to breed them
Yes you should bother. Just give a bit in a seperate container and put it in the cage, see how much they eat and adjust. It depends on how many you have, their preferences on food and what other foods you feed them.
Thanks for this video! I'm gonna try it - today already!! :)
Just one question; are the sprouted seeds given as the main food, or in addition to dry seeds? (sorry if that's a silly question)
Thanks again! :)
Hi Jojo Bee glad the video helped, the dry seeds are always going to be their main source of food. The sprouted seeds can also be given daily but smaller quantities i give about 1tsp per bird once in the a.m and then again in p.m . I use them as a tool to get the birds into breeding condition or for young chicks that are learning how to eat and cant quite crack open a dry seed.
@@paradiseaviary Okay, perfect! Thank you so much for this valuable info!!!!
Egg food can be given daily, especially when breeding or conditioning birds for breeding. Lots of NFSS breeders give their birds egg food year round and some make it themselves with 90% of the mixture being pure egg.
Hi Corrin Jessen eggfood can be given daily just like any other source of food, but its not healthy for the bird. Eggfood is not a natural food source and birds do not get this in the wild, This is a supplement that we provide to make up for natural foods that normaly would stimulate them to breed and feed chicks. Depending on the size of the cage and the species some may become overweight due to the high source of fat. I also make my own eggfood but that doesnt make it healthy just because its homemade when compared to commercial brands like higgans, cede, etc etc. its still something that should only be given to condition birds for breeding max 3x a week (in my opinion so they dont become overweight) or when they have chicks on a daily basis.
@@paradiseaviary I see! I don’t keep my birds in cages so I never throughly about that. My birds are in an outdoor aviary throughout the year so definitely need all the fat and carbs they can get- especially surviving the winter (even though the aviary is covered and heated). I notice my birds double their food intake in the fall and winter. I always supply egg food because either they are surviving through the winter or when it’s not cold they consistently breed throughout the spring and summer.
But I can see how caged birds could get overweight from eating certain foods too much.
How long will sprouts last in freezer?
Is it quinoa ?
Kindly write the seed mix name you are using in sprouts
Hii, is there a way to tell if the seed has grown mold? I don't really know anything about and I don't wanna accidentally feed my birds mold
The best way to tell is by the smell of the seeds. They should smell nutty, if for any reason they smell sour they have gone bad. You can also look at them very closely and you might be able to see small mold spores if so they have gone bad. The best way to avoid any mold is to add some apple vider vinager to the water as they soak for the 2-4hours I forgot to mention this in the video.
@@paradiseaviary thank you!
@i purple you
BTS Army Here! Hehe! You Can Use Apple Cider Vinegar To Avoid Mold.
Sprouts seeds can be stoerd for twodays and can be given to birds if the quantity in excess
Had tried sprouting method twice thru UA-cam and I found it useless. Do hope this will work for me.
My question is..
Do I need to leave it under the sun or just in a place where light strikes during that 2- 4 hrs?
Leave it without sun
How do i get rid of the bad smell after 3days they smell bad is that normal?
I would be happy if you reply thanks☺️
It should not smell bad at all. Sounds like that batch of seeds whent bad. They are suppose to smell a bit like nuts its a very distinct oder, but hard for me to explain.
@@paradiseaviary yea its smell like that quite distinct is that normal is okay for birds to eat them?
Sweet smell = safe
Sour/alcoholic smell = bad
Always remember: when in doubt, throw it out!
Should only ever smell nice a fresh !
Regards👍
