Sprouts with scary white Colour liquid

[alloysius]

Dear guys,

Watching some videos and get to learn how to sprout from the usual seeds That my budgie consume daily. This is my 2nd time feeding them sprout but something I feel unusual is leaving those sprouted seeds in the stainless steel bowl for about 2 hours and realize Budgies beak having a lot of white colour stain On their beaks. Having a close look into the bowl there’s lots of white colour liquid drops all over the bowl. Those white liquid should be coming from those sprouts

Is that safe for my budgie to consume sprouts with those white liquid ? Is this common to see white colour liquid coming out from the sprouts ?

I haven't ever seen any kind of liquid coming out the sprouts I did for my birdies and also for faster plantation. I have sprouted different kind of millets, their seed mix, whole beans, herb seeds and oily seeds. Also, have consumed sprouts all my childhood, this seems odd.

I did stop giving them sprout for the fear of infections. Sometimes soaked seeds (soaked in water warm for 3 hours for my weather), but I do sprout still for growing plants for them.

What do you sprout? Is it a custom mix or premix? Seeds with their shelf life over will not sprout, so I'm not sure what that is.. but doesn't sound normal. Stainless steel or any other kind of food bowl used doesn't matter. When in doubt, never use it - is what I follow for my birdies.

They shouldn't have a white liquid. It may be mold. Feel the sprouts - do they feel slimy? Before you sprout the seeds, soak them in water with either apple cider vinegar or grape seed extract. Rinse 2 or 3 times daily. After they sprout and before you feed them to the budgies, soak them for 15 minutes with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar mixed in 1 cup water. Rinse several times with water and store in the frig. I feed my guys sprouts every day and they love them.
