good foods for birds

If you are having trouble getting your birds to breed or eat good foods try feeding them sprouted seeds. You put the seeds in a jar with a screen or mesh lid and wet them then drain the water out. You need to repeat this two or three times a day for about three days until the seeds sprout roots. This will make them think it is breeding season.
Other good foods to try are:

• broccoli


• apples


• peas


• corn


• lettuce


• tomatoes


• sun flower seeds


• millet spray


• oranges


• green beans


• Grass seeds


• blue Berries
  
• raspberries
  
• pecans
  
• pumpkin
  
• carrots
  
• wheat
  
• grapes


• unsweetened cereal
