Reviews and Questions

My birds loved the product, perfect blend of seeds , very fresh , looked so good , will be buying more

Parrot food

My parrots love ❤️ it .

Great products. My birds love.

My birds (IRN and alexandrine parrot) absolutely love it!! They get bored of chop and having this added into their daily feeds or alternative has been great :) I will definitely be buying more. My birds get excited for feeding time with these soaking blends.

My boy loves his soaked seed!

I would recommend this blend as my boy really loves it & it appears to be fresh & high quality…much better than the poor quality seed available at most pet shops to soak. It’s easy to prepare, only takes 8 to 24 hours to soak, it stores in the fridge once rinsed & dried for a day or two after soaking & gives variety to his diet that is usually fresh fruit & veggies. I hope that Raw Foods will continue express shipping, as my boy loves all the products & toys from this company.

How to start soaking

Rinse under water one tablespoon per two birds until it runs close to clear. Then soak for 8-12 hours. Ensure that there is at least an inch of water above when soaking, as the blend will expand over time. You may notice while soaking the water will turn dirty. This is normal as nutrients are released into the water.

Once soaked, rinse until it runs close to clear, let drain and serve. Don't worry if you don't get home in time to take it out of the water. The maximum soaking time is 24 hours. Soaked seeds should have an earthy smell and be offered immediately. Discard uneaten portions after 2-3 hours. If you are worried about uneaten food, reduce the portion of the soaked seed, so nothing is left behind.

Don't waste the water you used for soaking; pour it onto your garden. It's full of powerful nutrients.

When feeding soaked seed, ensure it is free from mould, and other kitchen contaminants. If you have particular issues, you can use a few drops of Vetfarm Aviclens or Organic Apple Cider Vinegar when soaking.

Tools you will need

It can be soaked in any clean container, but you will require a fine strainer as some seeds are very small. Our Beginner Sprouting Jar works best. Soak out of direct sunlight in a cool dark place.

How to use

Offer as is, mix into chop or bird recipes.

How much to feed

Can be offered 2-3 times a week, taking into account your bird's daily needs. As a guide one dry tablespoon per two birds. This blend must be soaked and cannot be offered dry.
