I was at the market today shopping for veggies and fruits for me and the babies. All my babies love fresh veggies including my dog !! I happened to see some broccoli sprouts and was wondering if anyone has given these to their birds. I have tried organic pea shoots and alfalfa sprouts and they seem to enjoy those , so was wondering if anyone has tried feeding broccoli sprouts.

lem2bert Betty let me know if your birds like it and I'll let you know if mine do we were at the grocery store today too and bought some too funny I'm sure they will love them they love brocolli tops

I do not think they were broccoli tops. I saw them at Hannafords , they were in a little container like the alfalfa sprouts and pea shoots. Though I could be wrong. I did not buy them but I may go back and pick some up Monday.

lem2bert they were brocolli sprouts at market bskt in NH and the birds loved them this morning

Good to hear !!! I am going to try to go out tmr and pick some up. Glad you let me know , Thank-you !!!

lovezebs thank you for that post ,I find buying alfalfa,pea,brocolli sprouts at the store are much easier then trying to sprout myself.Do you sprout your own?

Glad the chickies enjoyed the broc. sprouts.

The idea of sprouting seeds for the birds, is to offer them to the birds just as the seed shell opens and the sprout just pops out. That's when they're supposed to be at their most nutritious.

lovezebs I know that but they do enjoy these sprouts they grab one and eat the top then the stem when I have sprouted seed so much they don't eat and is wasted there is none left when all my little monsters gobble it up.I'll try to get a picture in the morning
