Seedmix and SoftFood Budgies Parrots Australian Parrots

In this Video I explained about #Budgiesseedmix and #BudgiesSoftFood
Most budgie owners buy a ready-made seed mix to feed their birds, which is fine as long as you can trust the supplier. Seeds need to be fresh, as they have a limited shelf life. Once this optimum time has passed, most of the nutrients will have disappeared. The same problem occurs if the seed has been exposed to direct light or too much heat. Herbicides and pesticides are an issue, too, so it’s important to know where the various ingredients of the seed mix came from in the first place, and under what conditions they were grown. To find a good seed source, ask around – search bird forums online, and speak with budgerigar breeders.

There is another handy way of judging the age of a batch of seed. Soak some grains in water for six hours, then pour away the liquid, place the grains on some wet cotton wool or kitchen paper, and leave them somewhere warm for another 24 hours. After this time, at least 50% of the grains should be starting to sprout. A really good batch will show 80-100% sprouting. If nothing happens after the 30 hours, and if you’re sure the seeds were kept moist throughout (essential for germination), you’ve got a dead batch of food that will leave your budgies malnourished.
