i rinse the seeds often during the soak period (i only soak 12 hours top) and the sprouting time (24 hours), i too use a bit of sterilizing stuff

Hey, I am all the way from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. I am 13 years old, I love your videos. I will start breeding Bengali/Society finches for some pocket money. I want to give them soak seeds to them 2-4 times a week. Is that enough and is this seed mix ok for finches? Also what seeds did you put in the soak seed mix and how much? Is there anything else I can or should add to it to make it better? Please reply.

Do you have the link for those on amazon. I was looking not sure which 1. Also i use cider vingear in my soak seed i feel its more natural and works the same as the bleach

Hi thank you its very helpful video but I am curious how many days per week should I give this my cage birds (goldfinch)

Hi, Matt, fantastic explanation!!! I stopped doing soak seed years ago because of a fungal infection, but I know that soak seed is the top food for the breeding season. I would like to know what's the difference between the Dr.Johnson's sterilising fluid and regular bleach, and why would Dr.Johnson's fluid be better than regular bleach? Thank you in advanced. Your videos are incredibly interesting.

just watched your video would this be the same process for budgies etc . i am a little bit worried about the water going stale, also how many times should you possible wash it to get of the stale water off it

Can braggs organic apple cider vinegar be substituted for the Dr. Johnson’s ? If so, how much should be used?
Thank you
Helen

[Seba]

Good job mister
What do you call the cup you are using for measuring so I can order some please?

[mrsuperlatif]

Hiya Matt,
Do you have to use special seeds or can you use normal canary mix ?

[izabeau]

How do you use the sterilizing fluid. Do you rinse them with it or soak them in it ....how...! As I often sprout seeds for my birds, but didn’t know about the sterilizing fluid..

[jeffeden]

Do you only feed soaked seed? Or do you feed it in addition to the dry seed?
