The sprouts are still soaking but since I read just soaking them makes them so much more nutritious for them I gave Tobi and Echo some of the sprouts.

As expected Tobi ate like a piggy but mister picky pants Echo has only looked to see what they were and walked away from them.

Oh boy you do do the works don't you. LOL i have never heard of half of those seeds. We must be a bit behind the time here in Aussie Land. They don't go to that trouble over here. But by no means do any of my birds miss out on a good healthy diet just different.

My Ruby eats her sprouts before she eats anything else. I'm glad you're having success.
