Posted August 16, 200816 yr I have tried to grow budgie and cockatiel mix, but I don't know if I can actually feed it to them. There is millet, I think it's okay to feed, but then there is also canary seed, hemp, linseed, nigerseed, safflower, buckwheat, sorgho, sunflower, paddy rice, oats, yellow panicum. Did you try to feed some of these plants? They love the grown millet, but I'm afraid to try the rest I've just spread it in a pod and it's growing very nicely, but if some of it is not okay to feed as a plant, I'll only grow the ones that are safe
August 16, 200816 yr Whatever you are feeding them as seed, you can grow as a plant and feed to them. They will love you more

August 16, 200816 yr Author Thank you Denise . Do you think even sunflower plant and hemp? These don't look eatable to me Sorry Zebra don't know about them?? Don't worry, I think I'll take the sunflowers away anyway, they don't look good to eat
August 16, 200816 yr You going to sprout hemp??? :huuh: hehhe If your seed that you feed your birds do not sprout then change brands as it is n't good seed
October 27, 200816 yr You going to sprout hemp??? :huuh: hehhe Teee heee Uh oh gonna have trouble gowing this one!
October 27, 200816 yr Just did my planting today. One pot: millet, one pot: wild grass (oats), one pot: budgie pot luck mix. I'll post pics when they sprout.
October 27, 200816 yr dont tell many people that your growing hemp you might get some visitors when the plants have grown i planted sunflower and corn for the birds and have a small patch of garden where i throw the old seed to grow fresh seed heads.
October 27, 200816 yr Sunflower is okay for them. . Just make sure anything you grow you don't spray with pesticides (I know you won't but putting it out there). In our FAQ we have food links too.
October 27, 200816 yr Good luck with the plants. I am in the process of doing the same thing... well not hemp but millet and budgie seed mix. looking forward to how it goes. Good luck. Keep us posted and show us some pics! If you can.
