Sunflower seeds and sprouting help!?
for the sunflower seed if they were cooked no. if not the ones in the shell will sprout. The apple seeds should under no cercumstanes be givin to a bird. water mellon seeds will sprout.
Reply:Sunflower seeds - depends on the processing.





It is best to go and by planting seeds rather than the roasted and salted ones.





Apple seeds will sprout.





Watermelon seeds should sprout, but it depends on whether it is from a hybrid.
Reply:Don't offer apple seed or watermelon seed sprouted to your birds at all. They're toxic.





For the sunflower seed. There are many ways you can sprout them. The already shelled ones will probably not sprout %26amp; any other sunflower or other seed must be fresh to sprout.


For best nutrition for birds they should only just be sprouted, alternatively you can soak the for 24 hours for good nutrition.





Also don't over do it the sunflower seeds, try all kinds of others too as well as things like mung beans, peas etc.





You can have a look at this sprouting website.
