Hi there, Can any breeder give me some advice

What soft food to feed my breeding birds besides budgie starter

and what grains do you use soaked as I want something I can soak overnight then feed them the next day, as I have tried soaking white millet (no good) also tired soaking mix grain still no good, meaning I would rinse it out but it all ways smells so I wouldn't feed it to my birds.

White millet is surpose to bring the bird into a molt well i don't won't that.

Ray Wilson told me today that he soaks 'tric a cali' spelt wrong but that's how it sounds. but I tried to buy it and they only sell it in bulk 25tonns ha.

So please anyone with advice please let me know.

Hey Splat Daz has a good website

Daz Website

he has info on what is soaked and etc... Good luck His birds are BEAAAAUTIFFUUULLLLL

Soft food I use: boiled eggs mashed, soaked polenta, grated carrot/apple, eggs shells I dry after boiling the eggs then grind them up and mix them in too. I know someone who soaks mungbeans, 1st grade wheat and grey sunflowers and adds to the mix.

I also use Triticale soaked,

My seed mix has a big range of seeds in it. will add picture as I dont know all of them!! Not just the usual budgie mix you get at petshops/stockfeeds. I add turbobooster to the seed/soaked seed, Fvite powder in small containers in the aviary. (Marshalls)

When you are soaking your seed add avicleans to the water it prevents mould and stops bacteria (which is I guess why it gets smelly. Soak for 12 hours then drain in airy container overnight. (this is for mungbeans and such)

Where abouts are you?

I always use soaked Hulled Oats.........everyday when breeding..

My Partner Greg agrees with you but i just wanted to try it but every time I try to do it, it ends up smelling a bit and I through it out because i don't want to make my birds sick.

 

He also reckons that egg effects there liver or kidney one orthe other, so I don't know

Fvite is a clay like mineral powder- the birds help themselves to it
