Growing sprouts from bird seed?
I have a cockatiel which I feed a mix of seeds (among other things).
A lot of the bigger seeds he doesn't eat much of. He prefers the smaller seeds. Do you think it would be a good idea if I planted these in my garden and ate the sprouts? That way I don't have to waste them. Are some kinds of sprouts more nutritious than others or are they all about the same? Are they all very good? |

I've done that! Most of the big seeds are sunflowers, usually. I had a
bird feeder for a while, but when my cats started bringing me feathered corpses (thanks guys) I removed the feeder. I sprouted the seed in shallow dirt on my balcony just for fun, and got lots of nice seed sprouts. Of course, I don't know what seed are in your mix, but I'm sure the bag will tel you. |

Depends what type of bird it is for, but: red millet prosso millet white millet sunflower rape seed and others I can no longer recall. Spray millet grows quite nicely and seed eating birds just love it. A friend owned a pet shop and lived on a farm; he made a nice profit selling this fresh spray millet. |
