Sprouts are one of the healthiest foods for birds.
They are live, growing food, full of vitamins and minerals, without preservatives, inexpensive, and relished by parrots. I purchase a half pound of beans at the health food store and use a teaspoon at a time for sprouting. Drain in colander and let sit at room temperature. I keep the sprouts in a jar to retain some moisture. Harvest some to feed to birds.
