Hi All
Can anyone advise the correct method of soaking and sprouting seeds under local Singapore condition, please? Currently am doing as follows: 0800hrs - soak seeds 1800hrs - washes soaked seeds and continue to soak with fresh water 0800hrs [ next day ] - washes soaked seeds and feeds birds with them [ moderate amount so that seeds will be finished by 1200hrs ]. Wonder if my method is correct. Have not tried sprouting, please advise how this is done. Many thanks |

Soaked seeds can be used as an additional source of protein and energy for breeding birds. It is also a good medium to administer vitamins and minerals for nesting and breeding birds. Although giving soaked seeds have benefits. it is easily contaminated and proven lethal to birds.
Sprouting seeds - Put the seeds you intend to sprout on a damp piece of cotton. Make sure that the cotton is never completely dried. Hard husked seeds like sunflower seeds will take longer to sprout. Last edited by William Tan : 23-Jun-2007 at 12:34 PM. |
