I have a cockatiel and a parakeet who share a cage and I was just wondering if this is unusual. An unrelated question: My birds are crazy about sprouts I grow from the seed they eat...I've been sprouting the seed by putting some on a wet paper towel in a jar on the windowsill, but this encourages mold. Does anyone know of a way to sprout seeds that doesn't have the mold problem? Tim <> timbuck@gnu.ai.mit.edu or jbuck@vtssi.vt.edu

It was like a little plastic terarium(sp?). It had a fine sponge in the bottom that you soaked with water, and laid the seeds on. So either the sponge or the enclosed terarium effect did the trick. Hey I don't know, but mabye its worth a try. Steve
