Do you feed your birds sprouts?

Thanks, I thought it was a few days, glad I checked.

I got an EasySprouter, and a pound of seeds from my local bird store. It was SO easy to sprout, and now I have a nice size container in my fridge. My question is, how long can you store them? My first batch was using 1/2 cup of seed, I think I will only do half that next time. Maxx loves them.

Here is the seed I used:
Ingredients: Organic Amaranth, Organic Millet, Organic Spelt, Organic Hulled Oats, Organic Hulled Barley, Organic Chia, Organic Mung, Organic Red Lentils, Organic Marrowfat Peas, Organic Arugula, Organic Broccoli, Organic Fenugreek, Organic Sprouting Pumpkin Seed, Organic Hulled Sesame, Organic Hazelnuts

I would recommend fresh, I do not keep in fridge. I use them as they sprout.
When sprouting seed mixes you will need to be careful that they do not go off. Smell and feel, then taste, you will soon learn when not to use them.
I only sprout Mung Beans myself. Mixed seeds means some sprout before others. Another thing to watch is getting fresh seeds, not stale / old seeds.
Iknow Mung Beans are rated as 72% as a total food source.

For a human, out of the range that is considered normal (7.35-7.45) by a statistically significant amount. You'd probably know better than I what the measurement uncertainty is. I don't know what would be considered normal for birds or how well regulated it is compared to humans. But that's another point -- one should be cautious when assuming what's true for mammals is true for birds.

I see from your profile that you are a med student and also into alternative medicine and that you sell nutriceuticals. I'm a hard sell on the alternative stuff, for the most part I treat supplements as "might help" if I'm sure they are safe, but I definitely respect education! I should be careful crossing swords with you... but I remain unconvinced that there is solid evidence to support the hypothesis you have proposed.

Doesn't matter what my background is. I am having a hard time finding what you want.
