As the Milet Spray's are one of my birds favourite food source I thought it would be beneficial to boost the value of this food source by sprouting it....has anyone tried this before...do the birds take to it just as readily as the unsprouted millet spray....i intent to continue giving them the unsprouted version, but will add a few sprouted millet sprays with their other sprouted seeds...cheers, Paul

When I buy a bag of millet sprays theres always husks and loose seeds in the bottom , these go into the garden to grow .

What you get is smaller , greener versions of the original product and the birds love them straight from the garden ..cant get any fresher than that .
