Seed & Sprouts Help!

[GraceBirds]

Can sprouted seeds fully replace normal dry seed mix in my bird's daily diet? It seems to me to be perfectly fine; better and healthier even. But I'd still like other people's opinions and knowledge. Thanks so much!

Yes, but slowly. You do not want your birds to not recognize it as a food source and starve. This can, and does, happen.

I feed very little dry seed, but of course my species are different Sprouts are great! One thing of course is that they spoil quicker than dry seed which can be left out so day.

My Jardine's was a seed eater when I got him and he took a long time to eat sprouts. I learned that a very short tail was the key! Once they get too long he won't touch them!
