Sprouting seed mix - UK

[sweetpea]

Hello all. Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere....!

Any recommendations for a sprouting seed mix to buy in the UK? Ideally, I'd like a smallish sample of a variety so I can test for acceptability! Any ideas?

Am I right in assuming that humans can eat the same mix too (looking ahead to them not liking it!)

Thanks.

I'll leave it to others to point you to mixes in the UK but if you select an organic mix, you can eat what the budgies don't want. Hopefully it will be free of mold for both you and the budgies.

sweetpea I bought this at tweetiepiesmom 's recommendation. My boys really like it. It's sprouted really well. I've not tried anything else so can't recommend others!

That mix was specifically formulated to meet the nutritional needs of our birds. My guys love it and took to it right away. I hesitated to recommend it because I'm not sure how expensive it is in the UK.

Interesting, blueelephant - I noticed that one earlier. It's nice to know you have a good experience with it.

tweetiepiesmom , it would work out expensive if no one ate it! But I should be immune to that thought now as God knows how much money I've wasted over the years on stuff they haven't eaten or played with etc.!

I hear you sweetpea! I don't know how much money I've thrown away buying foods my guys wouldn't touch! I've put all forms of broccoli in front of them but they refuse to eat it. My favorite was the broccoli sprouts which Buddy pulled out of the dish and threw on the floor while I watched!
