How to Set Up Your Mini Grow Kit

Why Seed Cube Stocks This for Bird Care:

  • Fresh Vegetables Made Simple: Microgreens are simply young vegetables - the easiest way to boost daily nutrition in your birds' bowls alongside pellets and quality seed without complicated preparation.
  • Concentrated Brassica Nutrition: Mizuna and red cabbage microgreens bring vibrant colour, satisfying crunch, and natural phytonutrients that support immune function and feather health.
  • Perfect for Small Birds: Ultra-compact size makes it ideal for single-bird households or those with smaller species who need appropriately portioned fresh food additions.
  • Natural Foraging Enrichment: Fine stems and leaves mix smoothly into chop and encourage natural foraging behaviours, providing both nutrition and mental stimulation.
  • Trial-Friendly Introduction: Perfect size for bird owners wanting to test their birds' interest in microgreens before committing to larger growing systems.

Key Features:

  • Ultra-Compact Design: At just 125mm x 110mm x 50mm, this is the easiest way to trial microgreens on any windowsill without taking up valuable space.
  • Even Growth Technology: Single honeycomb grill supports stems and promotes optimal airflow for uniform canopy development despite the compact size.
  • Sustainable Construction: Made from eco-friendly bamboo fibre that's biodegradable and dishwasher safe, ensuring complete safety for your birds and environment.
  • Ready to Grow: Includes two complete sowings (Mizuna and Red Cabbage) with untreated, non-GMO seeds for immediate peace of mind.
  • Quick 8-12 Day Harvest: Fast growing cycle provides fresh microgreens when needed most, with timing dependent on variety and room temperature.
  • Expandable System: Start small and add more pods or upgrade to larger Micropod systems as your confidence and needs grow.
Bird Serving Guidelines: Rinse, finely chop and mix into chop. Offer a pinch to 1 tsp for small birds, 1-2 Tbsp for medium birds, and 2-4 Tbsp for large parrots. Rotate brassicas (mizuna, red cabbage) with non-brassicas during the week for balanced nutrition. Store harvests dry and unwashed in a vented container (5-7 days typical) and rinse right before serving. Remove leftovers after 2 hours.
