Have you tried the New mix yet? It's a great one!! Birds are loving it 😍

We are so excited for this new sprouting mix (and our birds are too)! Sprouted seeds are such a great part of birds’ diet that is not talked about enough.

First, what are sprouts, and why are they so great? Sprouts are seeds that have begun the process of germinating. In the wild, birds are not just eating perfectly dried seeds. They are eating plants and seeds at every stage of the process.

In the dry form, seeds are essentially in stasis, waiting for a bit of water to kickstart their sprouting process. In this form, the seed is full of fat for the seed to use up as energy until it has roots. They also contain compounds that protect the seed from sprouting until conditions are right, including phytate, which can affect the absorption of vitamins and minerals in the body. Sprouting seeds greatly increases the nutrients and vitamins available to the bird, and provides a step closer to a balanced diet.

Best of all? Even the most picky birds tend to enjoy sprouts pretty fast!

China Prairie Products is a great source for sprouting seed mixes for birds, and they just came out with this new “Bean Supreme” mix. Our birds are loving it!

This all organic mix contains:
Green Lentils, French Blue Lentils, Whole Red Lentils, Whole Peas, Mung Beans, Adzuki Beans, Garbanzo Beans, Fenugreek Seed, Radish Seed.

If you have any questions about how to sprout, feel free to reach out. We are happy to help get you started! We are open 12-7pm today to come check it out in person!
