jellybean I live in the city, actually the suburbs so I don't trust the stuff growing in the parks to not have pesticides and there is no wild spaces. I got this grass kit, grew it and planted it in a pot outside. It grew well and I fed my guys the grass and they love it. I'm not sure which of the grasses is seeding but they do like it.

It looks like barley grass. I picked a few seedheads on my last forage, Anakin & Trevor completely tore it to bits

I asked my vet ages ago about the buds and their grass - was it a good thing, and classed as fresh or seed? "Oh, definitely fresh and nothing better" was the response.
Chewing the fresh stalks is good as well, as is nibbling on the leaves - the whole package is healthy.

Right off-hand, I would think it is fine to feed the grass from it to your budgies but let's have the more experienced people answer. Hezz Marianne Marlow samwiseg

Personally I would advise against it because of the type of seed that is sprouting. This bird food is meant for wild birds so it hasn't been scrubbed and am unsure as to what grass is growing from which seed as it may not be suitable for budgie tums (they can be quite sensitive). If you wish to grow your own sprouts/shoots you can do this with budgie food that has been already cleaned before being packaged. We've had some members try and grow millet on the forum some very successful at it too! Then you just gotta get the buds to eat it... growing it is one thing but whether the birds eat it is another!!!
