Ursula I was able to see them just fine, that is odd...

That being said, I loved the pics. So, can I use any seeds as long as there are not pellets in it? And how long do you do each step? I would love to do this

Very cool, LOL, your serving plates look like mine :) http://www.finchforum.com/viewtopic.php ... ed#p275952

Jennie, I specifically use "Soak seed" by Abba. I don't know what exactly they do but it's definitely seed that has no additives, and maybe it's also a special mix that sprouts well. I never tried it with normal finch seed.

Sorry to all who can't see it. I thought that with the link it shouldn't matter whether you're a member of Picasa or not. And yes, if you have a gmail account it's the same login.
Walk-in aviary with Waxbills (6 Cordon Bleu, 3 Orange Cheek, 3 Black-rumped, 1 Lavender, ), 1 European Goldfinch, 4 Gouldians, 2 Spice Finches, 6 Owl Finches, 4 Budgies and 2 male Button Quail.
I also have 2 parrotlets, 3 dogs, 1 snake and 3 freshwater fishtanks.
