Fran,
Can you tell me exactly what to get and how to do this??? I just read a
stack of AFA Watchbird mags that a friend gave me. (I had expired and
still need to renew) Anyway there was an issue almost totally devoted
to Lories. In that there was an article by the China Prarie bird farm
people about "Live Food", not about bug food as I'd thought but about
sprouted food still being "Alive" as in not dead, not cut or
harvested, as in still having viable life force in the sprouted
seeds, beans,peas, grains, whatever!!! They mentioned "chi" as in the
oriental word for "lifeforce" and things started to click in our
minds (Ed took martial arts for years) and this sounded like a plan.
But I need more info. This IS Fla and anything spoils here.
Last night at Publix grocery we bought a few containers of sprouts
from the produce dept. Kinda to try them out. One kind had sunflower,
wheat, alfalfa, radish, and something else. One kind was specifically
called "Living Sprouts". I think I'll eat some as I'm craving
something in my diet that my body needs but I'm not getting.

Hey, you use spirulina don't you? What brand are you using? I used the
Earthrise and then ran out and bought some Petvision. I didn't
care for it much. It didn't mix as well.
