Feed Your Flock the Best<\/h3>\n

I know you want to do what\u2019s right when it comes to feeding your birds. That\u2019s why you found this website.\u00a0 You want your birds to be happy and healthy with beautiful feathers, cooperative behaviors and lovable personalities.\u00a0 Properly balanced avian nutrition will give you all of these things.\u00a0 But what is \u2018properly balanced<\/em> avian nutrition\u2019?<\/p>\n

According to avian veterinarians malnutrition is the leading cause of illness, disease and premature death of birds everywhere. (1) This statistic is tragic! Especially since avian malnutrition<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> can easily be prevented.<\/p>\n

For good health and wellness birds must consume hundreds<\/em> of nutrients everyday. The reason avian malnutrition is so prevalent is that most birds are not fed all nutrients they need.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Watch Out for ‘Old School’ Feeding Advice<\/h3>\n

Did you know that seeds, pellets, fresh fruit and vegetables only provide a portion of the nutrients a bird needs for optimal health and wellness? Did you know that feeding a diet of mostly seeds is the historical cause of avian malnutrition<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span>(1) But now there\u2019s another type of nutritional deficiency commonly occurring in birds.\u00a0 Did you know that over-supplementing your bird causes another type of nutritional imbalance? Feeding formulated diets in conjunction with readily available avian vitamin and mineral supplements causes an excess in certain nutrients or unbalance of nutrients which also causes avian malnutrition<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. (1)<\/p>\n

All parrots – Amazons, African greys, macaws, conures, cockatoos, cockatiels, budgerigars, love birds, lories, quakers and all other species – need to consume a variety of nutritionally balanced<\/em> and wholesome foods daily<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each species of bird has general nutritional needs. And each individual bird within a species has specific nutritional requirements. However, there is one food you can add to your bird\u2019s diet – right now – that they will benefit from.\u00a0 All the birds under your care will be helped from eating this food because it\u2019s the most nutrient rich food on the planet.\u00a0 You\u2019ve got to be feeding properly grown<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> sprouts to your birds or they\u2019re missing vital nutrients.<\/p>\n

Our sprouting blends have been formulated to fill a specific need.\u00a0 If using diet and nutrition for health and healing, is what really matters – you\u2019ll want to feed our sprouting blends. Why?<\/p>\n

Because All Sprouting Blends are Not Created Equal<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sprouts are the most nutrient dense food on the planet. However, when you\u2019re feeding sprouts to birds there are certain properties and qualities you want the blend to have.<\/p>\n

ID the Best Sprouts for your Bird:<\/h3>\n

Questions to ask:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Is it a USDA Certified Organic<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a> product?<\/p>\n

\"USDA
USDA Organic, BBFE Sprouts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2. Has it been formulated to provide complete protein? Why is complete protein<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a> important?<\/p>\n

3. Do the ingredients have compatible germination rates and growing needs?\u00a0Or does the blend have \u2018filler\u2019 ingredients that won\u2019t germinate. These \u2018filler\u2019 ingredients can start spoiling very quickly, because they can’t grow and this creates bacteria and mold in the sprouts. Poorly formulated sprouting blends is why many avian vet hate sprouts.<\/p>\n

4. Does the company exclaim that \u201cSoaked Seed is more Nutritious that Sprouts\u201d? If so be wary, this statement is untrue. Learn the scientifically documented truth here – Soaked vs Sprouted Seed<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

5. Who formulated the blend?<\/p>\n

6. What is their background in holistic avian nutrition?\u00a0 Be wary of the information on \u2018anonymous\u2019 websites – no author, no footnotes for their data, no contact phone number or address.<\/p>\n

7. Has the company done any clinical work documenting the healthful properties of their sprouting blends?<\/p>\n
