I found this on an online organic store in the vegetable section (for humans), they say it must be stored in the fridge and add water to the soil only when dry, it’s the first time I see something like this, I was wondering if it’s the same or close to seeding grass, and how good would it be for our little buds, if yes plz give me your opinion about which one to get, which is better for them? they have: -green pea greens -turnip microgreens -red radish micro green -white radish micro green I would greatly appreciate your assistance and input, I’m trying to better their food quality and life as much as I can and I thank you for all your help ❤️

lemonora, this is seeding grass. Your pictures look more like the snow pea shoots I grow for my two. I hope this gives you a better idea of what seeding grass is,

What you have available is not seeding grass but can be fed to budgies. If they eat it, it would be good for them. The seeding grasses are from oats, rye, wheat, barley - the grains. When they grow, they look like grass. The budgies also like to eat the grass. As the grass grows, it will put out seed heads like what jellybean shows in the picture above. Next time you are a the grocers, look in the produce section and see if they have little pots of wheat grass. You can put it in a larger pot to grow and it will produce the seed heads. It may take a couple of months. Like I said budgies love eating the grass itself.

lemonora, what you have there look to be the sprouted seeds of the individual veg. I don’t see how any of them could be harmful to your budgies, but you might find that they prefer one or another to the rest. If you wanted to try only one or two, I would go green peas as first choice and one of the radishes as second. Not quite right, re the seeding grasses, as above. They aren’t grain seed heads at all; that’s what your seed mix is, and you don’t need any more of them. Grasses gone to seed, what I refer to as seeding grasses or grass seed heads, are from the pasture grasses, not grain grasses. Big difference. Pasture grass is a much more simple grass as far as interference from man goes. Most are self planted, growing in their natural environment, some do get mass planted out as pasture grass for stock fodder. Grains have been fiddled with to get the best production per plant, per seed head, even down to the grains themselves.

Thanks Hezz for the very informative and useful reply 👍🙂 I will then get the peas and red radish (I’ll try the radish one myself 😄) and I will update you about their reaction, hopefully they’ll like it thanks again and as always I appreciate all your help Hezz ❤️ ❤️🌹from me and the birds 😍🐥

I would have done the same - peas and red radish. . I like radish, and the heat won’t affect the birds at all. They will probably love it!
