Why Seed Cube Stocks This for Bird Care:

  • Balanced Flavor Introduction: Combines gentle pak choi with controlled mustard heat, allowing experienced bird owners to introduce spiciness gradually while maintaining familiar mild flavors as a foundation.
  • Advanced Sensory Enrichment: Provides contrasting textures and tastes that encourage selective eating behaviors and natural food exploration for birds ready for flavor complexity.
  • Controlled Spice Management: Pak choi serves as a natural balance to mustard's intensity, allowing for diluted spice introduction that supports gradual palate development.
  • Nutritional Complementarity: Soft pak choi delivers gentle vitamins while mustard provides concentrated phytonutrients, creating a balanced nutritional profile when used appropriately.
  • Experienced Bird Care Option: Designed for bird owners confident in managing variety and portion control, supporting advanced nutrition programs with proper rotation practices.

Key Features:

  • Six Complete Growing Cycles: Equal quantities of both varieties (3 packets each) allow for careful rotation and controlled spice introduction over multiple weeks.
  • Expertly Balanced Pairing: Mild pak choi provides foundation flavor that moderates mustard's intensity, creating manageable flavor complexity for bird acceptance.
  • Premium Seed Quality: Both varieties feature untreated, non-GMO seeds with approximately 1,000 seeds per packet ensuring safe, abundant harvests.
  • 100% Sustainable Growing: Plant-based jute mats compost completely, supporting environmentally responsible growing practices with zero waste.
  • Fast 8-12 Day Harvest: Consistent growing timeline across both varieties ensures predictable harvest scheduling for rotation planning.
  • Culinary Versatility: Both microgreens excel in different family cooking applications - pak choi for gentle dishes, mustard for bold flavor accents.
Micropod Fresh Bite Mix Growing Guide
Important Feeding Guidelines: This is an advanced brassica mix containing mustard - recommended for experienced bird owners only. Start with pak choi alone to establish acceptance, then introduce tiny amounts of mustard mixed with pak choi. Offer 2-3 times per week maximum, rotating with non-brassicas. Ensure base diet includes quality pellets with iodine. Monitor bird acceptance carefully and discontinue mustard if any signs of rejection or digestive upset.
Bird Serving Guidelines: Advanced feeding protocol required. Start with pak choi only: 1-2 tsp for small birds, 1-2 Tbsp for medium parrots, 2-4 Tbsp for large parrots. After acceptance established, mix tiny amounts of mustard with pak choi (1:4 ratio maximum). Offer 2-3 times per week only as part of brassica rotation. Store varieties separately, rinse before serving. Remove leftovers after 2 hours due to mustard content.
