Handy PantryOrganic Birdseed - 1 Lb - Sprouting Bird Seed Mix for Small, Medium & Large Birds- Feed for Songbirds, Parakeets, Parrots, etc

My birds love them. They’re obsessed. Great quality. Also they were easy to sprout. Only took 3-4 days and they were ready

I am not certain why other reviews stated that these were not sprouting. I soaked mine overnight, then I put some in a sprouting jar and some in a tea strainer to soak until i returned home the next evening. After the first rinse I protected them from light, the next morning they had already sprouted. When I returned home the following day, they were ready to be fed to my budgies and the one budgie immediately went to eat them, until I accidentally spooked her, but then they eventually went back to eating them. They love them! I will say that I think that the ones in my tea infuser sprouted better than the sprouting jar.

Lots of different seeds so my quaker has a big variety of sprouts. I'll definitely buy again.

The millet, quinoa, and sesame seeds do not sprout and that’s 85% of the package. So you’re left with a gelatinous goo after soaking and rinsing for a few days. I have tried several brands of sprouting seeds for my birds and this one is near the bottom. I have far better success with ones designed for human consumption not marketed for birds.

I can’t speak much to flavor as my green cheek conure is the only one who eats these- but they are easy to sprout- taking only a few days. I sprout a quarter cup of dry seeds at a time, and when they’re ready they last about a week. Enough time whike a secondary batch is sprouting. They keep well in the fridge. My bird gets really excited for his sprouts and will eat these first before touching any seeds/pellets. He doesn’t necessarily eat the whole sprout, but we all have our weird eating habits- am i right? I’m just glad he likes them and is getting the added nutrients. I will definitely continue to purchase this mix once its back in stock.

My cockatiels and budgies LOVE this stuff, picky rosy bourkes not so much but they don't like anything, so I'm not holding it against the seed. One reviewer said they thought the seeds were too big for parakeets and I sort of agree. Since I have cockatiels too I sort of split them accordingly, but the budgies do like the sunflower seeds and they've started getting braver with some of the others. My reason for four stars instead of five is that there seems to be an awful lot of millet and I would like to see more of some of the others.

There was zero instructions on the bag, and this is my first time making soak seed. I soaked overnight, rinsed twice and nothing was sprouted. I don't know if it's the seed or if I'm doing something wrong since there's no directions, and I don't know other important information like how long it keeps?

So i purchased this item because it is organic and I'm looking for "clean foods" for my parakeets... Was expecting a bigger bag for the price... Its mostly sunflower seeds and millet, not much of the other stuff mentioned in the product description. I'm also having trouble getting the seeds to sprout, theyve been soaking overnight, and still nothing... The label provides no info or feeding instructions, which is discouraging... Haven't fed it to my keets yet, I have a bunch soaking so I cant give my opinion on that at this time...
