-> Rick,
->
-> RF> Do you give your Birds sunflower seeds?
->
-> Yes. I have not ever used a pelleted diet and might not ever. (Never,
-> say never.) However, for the past 13 years I have sprouted my seed
-> This reduces the fat and adds enzymes to their diet.
->
-> RF> What is your opinion on this?
->
-> Oh, no, you asked for my opinion.
->
-> If you use seed it should only be a portion of your diet. The rest
-> should be raw fruits and veggies, cooked beans, etc., ect. It is the
-> overuse of seeds that is detrimental to the health of your bird. If
-> you chose to use sunflower seeds, then sprout them so that they will
-> become a surperb source of vit/min.
->
-> Hope that this answers you question.
->
-> Fran
What i was told about sun flower seeds was that the birds Mainly Teils
would get liver desieses. That is my concern with my birds!!
