How do you make a meal for a baby bird?

simple. first take about a tablespoon of your seed mixture and soak them in half filled bowl of lukewarm water for about 2 to 3 days and you will have spouts.the unfresh seeds wont sprout, keep that in mind. before giving your birds the sprouts, check for the ones with bad odor. throw those out. give your birds the sprouts in the morning for best freshness. remember that at first they might not eat them, but give your birds a chance to familiarize with them. after 2 to 3 hours, remove the sprouts and throw them away. try giving your birds sprouts about once a month, but always make fresh ones every month! for more info on parakeets get the book "The Essential Parakeet"
