Raw for Birds Sprouting Blend

(18)

Seven organic grains, beans and legumes are hand-blended to create a superfood boost for your bird's diet. The sprouting process releases digestible enzymes, allowing the body to absorb more proteins, vitamins, and minerals than dry seeds.

Once sprouted, this blend can be added to fresh chops, foraging bowls or used in bird recipes.

Suitable for all birds and great for people learning how to sprout. If your looking for an easier raw food option, see our soaking blends.

    Mung Beans, Wheat Grains, Green Lentils, Adzuki Beans, Chickpeas, Buckwheat, Sunflower Kernels. Please note some ingredients are seasonal and may not be present.
  • Tools you will need
    It can be soaked in any clean container, but you will require a fine strainer as some seeds are very small. Our Beginner Sprouting Jar works best. Soak out of direct sunlight in a cool dark place.
  • How much to feed
    It can be offered 2-3 times a week, taking into account your bird's daily needs. As a guide one dry tablespoon per two birds. This blend must be at least soaked and cannot be offered dry.
  • How to start sprouting
    Measure out the amount you want to sprout, making sure to use a clean measuring cup. The general rule is one tablespoon per bird, per day.
    Thoroughly rinse the seeds in the Sprouting Jar under cold water to remove dust. Do this until it runs close to clear.

    Soak for twenty-four hours, the water in the jar may change colour during this process, but this is not a problem.

    After twenty-four hours you will see the seeds have adsorbed water and expanded. Some seeds may already be sprouting; this is fine. Rinse with cold water until it runs clear and allow to drain.

    You will need to constantly rinse and drain the seeds throughout the whole process, this will remove any mould and keep the seeds hydrated. We recommend no less than four times a day. Keeping the jar on the kitchen sink is a good reminder to rinse the seeds whenever you are there, you can't over-rinse the seeds.

    After a day the seeds should start to grow little "tails" at this stage you rinse, drain then start offering it to your birds. Sprouted seeds are most nutritious if fed while the tails are just emerging. Some grains or seeds may take a little longer than others; like Sunflower, it is still okay to feed if some are only just starting to grow tails. Under ideal conditions, should take no longer than two days to be ready for feeding.
  • How to use
    Offer as is, mix into chop or bird recipes.

JOE AND BOE JUST LOVE IT

My cockateil and conure just love it when it sprouts but even when I follow the instructions and have the correct bottle it can be a hit and miss result. I have had to discard a few jars due to lack of sprouting which it truly what my birds love the most.

Healthy fresh, safe products

I have been thrilled with the products I have purchased. I have tried the soaks, the popcorn, a few different toys. I love the natural grasses in the toys, safer for my little Cockatiel Ralphy, who loves them. So many items to choose from, and the delivery has always been prompt, with tracking notices. I also love the dry chop mix, and have recently tried the Nutri Berries , Ralphy loves those also, a perfect way to get him onto more healthy pellets, I still give him seed, but I know that he is also getting the nutrition he needs.
