When my kids clean out the seed containers they usually throw the seed onto the lawn and replace with new seed. Well now I have these little leafy plants growing in the lawn.

 

Is it okay to cut them and feed them to the budgies as fresh greens?

yep, as long as you know you havn't sprayed for weeds in that area. Give them a good wash and the birds will love them.

I used to plant the seeds in one of those take away plastic container thing for about a week and a half or so, and give the whole tray to the budgies.. they love it!! some would try to bath in it too as I usually wet them first before putting the container into their cages. I haven't done that in a while because I've switched to just giving them veggies.

Great news!

 

We never use pesticides so the sprouts will be "organic"!

 

Thanks for the replies. I'll cut a bunch before work and the boys can have sprouts for lunch.

Cool I'm going to try sprouting my own seeds too! Seems such a waste to throw it away! I'm growing some in a petri dish so they'll be organic
