I was not aware that sweet potato is better to eat steamed for us and our birds.

I liked feeding the birds carrot tops but I rarely see carrots with tops any more. Sometimes I can find them at Sprouts.

We always steam our sweet potatoes for use in our products. Cooking destroys the nutrients and raw isn't a viable option.

I get carrots with tops but they dont stay fresh very long. Two to three days at most. My two love them mostly as a bungie rope to swing on or when wet to get a bath.

That is a good list thanks for sharing.

Alfalfa sprouts are somewhat controversial. Some say they’re great and some say not good for birds. So I use alfalfa powder and sprinkle it over my chop.

I’ve tried sprouting almonds but they seem to take much longer to sprout than everything else.
Does anyone know the best way to sprout them?
Burt will eat them if I soak them overnight but he doesn’t seem to enjoy them this way nearly as much as if they are fresh.

In the States it's impossible to sprout almonds unless you get them straight from a farmer or tree, because they're all sold pasteurized and won't sprout. Not even Organic ones. I hate that the Gov say what we can eat and grow

It may be different for @Shezbug . She's in Australia.

I agree the gov. has made some dumb & good rules reg. farming. The almond one is baloney!

I bought S. Potatoes this week. I knew that they had to be cooked but couldn't remember why. Almost all the veggies buddy eats are raw as he prefers them. Chopped isn't really his thing but very slowly he's warming to it.

@Lady Jane , Thank you! Very informative as all your shares are. Thank you for taking the time to make us better parronts!

I believe they can be sold here as un pasteurised. It can be tricky finding unpasteurised ones though as they don’t have to be labelled here as being pasteurised or not. So you have to do your homework, the ones in the sprouting mix I get Burt are not pasteurised.
