Checking out the neighborhood
Hi everyone, I've been getting great info and advice from these forums for a couple of years, but this is my first actual post, so bear with me! LOL I know there are already several threads here on sprouting, but they're awfully long for me to sort through and some are getting pretty old. I just began sprouting for my birds (Rocky, yellow-crowned Amazon, 28; Blah, white-faced cockatiel, 17 and Jesse, CAG, 15) and I had great results with wheat berries and lentils, but I'm not sure about seeds. My first attempt I mixed a few varieties with similar sprouting times and put them in a sprouting tray but after a day or so they looked and smelled funky (I was rinsing 2-3 times a day), so I dumped them out and started again, only this time I placed them in separate trays. The sesame seeds are starting to sprout, no sign of life from the oat groats yet and the pumpkin seeds turned out to be the smelly culprits so I dumped them out and crossed them off my list. What I'm curious about is what everyone's favorite seeds are for sprouting? What have you had the best luck with? What doesn't work out well for you? What do your fids like best? My guys are loving the wheat berries and lentils, and I'm anxious to broaden their horizons!
