Sprouted feed can be divided into three categories:
1. swollen seeds (after 6-18 hours, depending on the seed)
2. actual sprouted food (after approx. 24-48 hours) = the white seedling becomes visible
3. green haulm = the seedling is already turning green
The energy content of the seeds decreases during germination, but the content of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements is significantly increased
Birds are naturally on the lookout for food all day long, which makes them so-called permanent feeders. In pet keeping, it is therefore essential to create a food supply that replicates the variety and nutritional richness of their natural diet as completely as possible. The aim is to prevent deficiencies and diseases by providing a varied and nutritious diet. Depending on the body size of the bird and the shape and strength of its beak, the main food consists of either a mixture of grains for granivorous or a mixed insect diet for soft feeders.

To ensure a species-appropriate and healthy diet for birds, it is important to take several aspects into account when designing their habitat. Firstly, many feeding stations should be set up to give weaker animals access to food. The positioning of the feeding and drinking containers is crucial here; depending on the bird species, these should be placed on the ground or at a height. It is also significant to offer the food in a beak-friendly size to make it easier to eat. Food can also serve as an activity, for example by providing branches or forest soil that mimic natural foraging. Finally, it is important to remove all food scraps daily to avoid spoilage and the associated health risks. These measures contribute to species-appropriate husbandry, promote the well-being of the birds and prevent deficiency symptoms and diseases.
