Timbersmom Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Anyone have a good supplier for seeds to sprout? I've been using sproutpeople.org (big bird mix) and I love it. But the shipping costs are killing me! I was wondering if there are any other good suppliers out there... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi, this is what we have used for years, TOP's, you can sprout it, feed it out of the bag, no problem. There Treat is really good, I eat it, we get 2 bags, 1 for me, 1 for the birds,, it's human safe and organic.....http://totallyorganics.com/categories.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayd Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 There pellets are good and safe, they have some alfalfa in them, not all parrots like alfalfa, if they did, these pellets would be the best pellets available.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myshelf Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 What do you think about the China Prairie Company seeds for sprouting? This is what I'm currently feeding as it was recommended by the breeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Interesting website there Myshelf. I can't find where they list what seeds are in their sprout mix though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinner Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Timbersmom, you should be able to find a quality, preferably organic food store and pickup bulk beans and seeds. I go to Whole Foods or Trader Joes. They are LOT cheaper than specialty sprouting kits and stuff, they are likely to be fresher, and no shipping added on. Look for the bulk/non-packaged section for: Legumes/peas (pea, lentils, mung beam, soybean, etc) Cereals (wheat, barley, quinoa, rye, buckwheat, rice) Cabbage (cabbage, broccoli, radish, mustard Onions and leeks Vegetables (spinach, lettuce, lemon grass) I sprout in non-wax paper cups (like the dixie bathroom cups) and get a consumable/trashable container to serve them up in. And save a cup or two for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks Dave! I live in a rural area. We don't have either of the stores you mentioned, only Kroger and Save-A-Lot (and the ubiquitous Walmart of course). I will make a point of checking that out next time I make a trip "to the city" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinner Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 You can always ask your local grocer manager to get things special for you. They don't charge extra and love knowing they can sell stuff immediately when it comes in. Take a list in and ask what they can do for you. I do it regularly with our Kroger store with good success.
