Did the sprouted seed/vege mix again today. What I do FYI:

I add about half a cup each of Livamol & Wombaroo insectivore mix to all this & it makes 8 litres which is frozen & I use 1 litre/day.
I give 2 heaped desertspoons to each breeding aviary each morning & they get a bunch of fresh grass heads pegged up each arvo for the soft seed component of the finches' diet.

Looks like a very evenly balanced soft food diet which you have proven works well by the amount of birds you breed Tiaris.Your method of freezing is the best way to go as i do. Craig

I can see what the vegies are Tiaris. But are the leaf aditions bok choi,kale and some type of spinach? Also What size is the leb cucumber frozen in the mix . I have tried freezing it with no success by itself i think it has to much moisture in it to be frozen alone.

[Tiaris]

The leafy greens in that mix are chicory, French sorrel & comfrey, but I just use whatever is growing in the yard at the time I make up each mix. At different times this can include the ones you mention and/or some wild ones like dandelion, chickweed, fat hen or cos lettuce from the fridge - whatever is available.
The leb cucumber is just a medium sized one. When it has been smashed up & mixed with sprouted seed the little bits freeze ok in the mix - better than large pieces on their own.

Thanks Tiaris I may try the leb next time that way.
