GERM SEED
Germ
seeds are a very healthy treat for birds, provided that this fresh food has
been properly prepared. Please note that sprouted seeds spoil quickly, and may
cause severe damage to your birds' health if fed in a spoilt state. For this
reason, some experts and breeders advise against feeding germ seeds at all,
which in our view is an over-reaction. If you prepare the seeds carefully and
do not store them for too long or inappropriately, they are a very tasty
supplement to your birds' menu without being a risk to its health.
Place the germseeds
during a period of 6 hours at room temperature. Put cold water on the seed
mixture afterwards. Moisten the seeds from time to time. Finally you get a
mixture of germed seeds: a real delicacy, rich in vitamines for all kinds of
birds.
Tips
You can just use plain glass jars or bowls. Small mason jars
work well. Glass is preferred over plastic, since glass can be cleaned and
sanitized thoroughly.
Don’t cover your sprouts, they need fresh clean air during
the entire soaking and sprouting process. Also keep them in a cool spot and out
of direct sunlight.
Be sure to let your sprouts dry out before putting them in
the refrigerator so they will keep nicely and stay fresh. Only make what you
will be able to use that day or only store them in the refrigerator for a day
or two at the most.
Most birds will love sprouts even if it is a new food for
them. If your bird is stubborn about trying new foods typically your food on
your plate is more enticing to them. Share with your bird and eat with them to
get them to try new healthy foods.
