Harvest after 8-12 days; cut above grills with scissors or Micro Snips
Rinse, finely chop and mix into chop
Offer a pinch to 1 tsp for small birds, 1-2 Tbsp for medium birds, 2-4 Tbsp for large parrots

Harvest timeline: 8-12 days depending on variety and room temperature. After harvest, store microgreens dry and unwashed in vented container; rinse just before serving. Remove uneaten portions after 2 hours. Used mats are compostable. Tray and lid are dishwasher safe (top rack) or hand wash. Store in cool, dry place when not in use.

What's the difference between Mini Starter and Starter Kit?
Mini holds 1 mat at a time and comes with 2 mats. Starter holds 2 mats simultaneously and comes with 6 mats (3 full cycles). Choose Mini for occasional use; choose Starter for more regular harvests.

Does it come with seeds?
Yes. Six mats included (3x Mizuna, 3x Red Cabbage). Start growing immediately.

Can I grow 2 different varieties at once?
Yes. Seat one Mizuna mat and one Red Cabbage mat on the two grills simultaneously. Harvest both together after 8-12 days.

Can I use different seeds?
Yes. Once you finish the included mats, buy Micropod Grow Mats and any seed variety you want.

How do I get more growing cycles?
Buy Micropod Grow Mats refills. The kit comes with 6 mats (3 cycles). After those finish, keep ordering refill mats to continue growing.

Can I upgrade to continuous production?
Yes. Starter Kit grows 3 cycles back-to-back over 6+ weeks. For true continuous weekly harvests, upgrade to Continuous Grow Kit with 4 pods.

Can I wash the tray?
Yes. Top-rack dishwasher safe or hand wash. Bamboo fibre is food-safe and durable.

What makes this award-winning?
Design recognized for excellence. Combines efficiency, sustainability, and reliability in a compact windowsill footprint.

Why Choose Microgreens For Your Birds

Homegrown microgreens are rich in vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that support feather health, digestion, and energy. Grown fresh in your own kitchen, they add colour, crunch, and hydration to daily chop while encouraging natural foraging. With soft stems and leaves that even small birds accept, Micropod makes it simple to rotate fresh greens through the week for balance and variety.

Clean, Soil-Free Growing

Micropod uses natural grow mats instead of soil, keeping benches, windowsills, and cage areas neat. No dirt, no mess, just clean, fresh greens ready for your bird’s diet.

Fast and Reliable Harvests

Seeds germinate quickly and are ready to snip in 8–14 days. A simple cycle of sow, water, and harvest keeps your bird supplied with fresh greens.

Nutritious and Bird-Friendly

Tender stems and leaves are easy for birds to accept, from budgies through to cockatoos. They bring natural texture and hydration to chop while supporting overall health.

Compact and Easy to Grow

With its small footprint, Micropod fits on a sunny sill or kitchen bench. No special lights or equipment required, just water and natural light.
