Hi,

 

I was just wondering if anyone knows whether cress is safe to feed to budgies? My husband suggested (after buying me a new budgie for my birthday!) growing a little budgie herb (aka "sprout") garden on the window sill, and we already have some cress seeds and thought that if they're safe, we'd start with those. Are there any sprouty type things to avoid? We're thinking of doing a mixture, so are things like alfalfa, mung beans and snow pea sporouts okay?

 

Rose.

I don't know what cress is but sprout beans and alfafa are okay.

That's good to know... I don't really know what cress is either, except that my husband has grown it before on cotton wool, like you do with alfalfa, so i thought it might be similar... will start out with alfalfa and bean sprouts i think!

Here is what it is and it says in the article it is good to feed to budiges, so YES lol
