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.
