🦜 Why Sprouting?
Sprouting unlocks dormant nutrients in seeds, making them more digestible and significantly richer in enzymes, vitamins, and beneficial bacteria. It promotes a healthy gut microbiome and is widely considered one of the most nutritious foods you can offer your parrot. In the wild parrots will consume seeds from the ground or from flowering plants, all of which are live and bioavailable, so offering sprouting seeds for parrots really is as close to nature as you can get. 

🌱 How to Sprout Seeds For Parrots

You’ll need:

🦜 A sprouting jar with a mesh lid

🦜 Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE)

🦜 Access to clean, fresh water

🦜 Optional: a dark cloth or jar cover

Step-by-step sprouting guide (done by The Aviary's founder!):

🦜 Add seeds – Scoop your desired amount of the Foraging Feast Sprouting Mix into a clean sprouting jar and place on the lid. (One and a half table spoons per bird)

🦜 Rinse thoroughly – Fill the jar with water, shake gently, and pour it out. Repeat until the water runs clear.

🦜 Sanitise – Drop 7 drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) through the mesh lid. Fill the jar two-thirds with clean water and soak overnight.

🦜 Morning rinse – Empty the soak water the next morning. Rinse the seeds several times with fresh water until the water runs clear.

🦜 First serving – You can start feeding now! Add ½ tablespoon of sprouted mix to your parrot's fresh morning chop. Cover the jar with a dark cloth and place it on the windowsill.

🦜 Evening rinse – Rinse the seeds again in the evening, shake, and drain well, replace on windowsill.

🦜 Day 2 feeding – Repeat the morning rinse and feed another ½ tablespoon. By now, tiny tails may be emerging.

🦜 Evening rinse again – This maintains freshness and prevents mould.

🦜 Day 3 feeding – Rinse and serve another portion. At this stage, sprouts should have tails around 1cm long – ideal!

🦜 Storage – Any leftover sprouts can be stored in the fridge from now. Always rinse before use.

🦜 Important – Use the sniff test daily. If the mix smells musty, sour, or “off,” discard immediately and start again.

✨ You’ll be feeding your birds their seeds at different stages of germination – this diversity helps mimic natural foraging patterns and maximises nutritional value, feeding your parrot's gut with different and diverse enzymes and friendly bacteria every single day.

Sprouting Seeds are perfect for:
African Greys, Budgies, Cockatiels, Cockatoos, Macaws (Blue and Gold, Green-winged, Military, Scarlet etc), Conures, Eclectus, Amazons, Quakers, Parakeets, Indian Ringnecks, and more.

💡 Note:
This is a complementary feed and should not be used as the sole diet. Always ensure your parrot has access to fresh vegetables, pellets, and clean water.
