[@SD_Canary_Corner]

Outstanding clip Matt, thanks!

[@alexmac1953]

Just watched your video on soak seeds and have ordered what you showed so going to give it a try..

[@robertjohnso7087]

Had no idea this is good. Time for more learning thank you!!

[@viciazzo]

i rinse the seeds often during the soak period (i only soak 12 hours top) and the sprouting time (24 hours), i too use a bit of sterilizing stuff

[@nelsonaguiar4361]

Thank you so much, always learning

[@chrisandsamlivingthedream]

Awesome.. just ordered one ... cheers Chris & Sam

[@keoghcf]

Do you have the link for those on amazon. I was looking not sure which 1. Also i use cider vingear in my soak seed i feel its more natural and works the same as the bleach

[@ivanaldoaraujo]

Perfect! I Will do it today!

[@abyankabir1910]

Hey, I am all the way from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. I am 13 years old, I love your videos. I will start breeding Bengali/Society finches for some pocket money. I want to give them soak seeds to them 2-4 times a week. Is that enough and is this seed mix ok for finches? Also what seeds did you put in the soak seed mix and how much? Is there anything else I can or should add to it to make it better? Please reply.

[@helenstrick8818]

Can braggs organic apple cider vinegar be substituted for the Dr. Johnson’s ? If so, how much should be used? Thank you Helen

[@TheCanaryRoom]

I don’t Helen, the dr Johnson’s is a brand name for sterilising fluid, I use that to kill off any bacteria

[@abdelmonaemammar]

Hi thank you its very helpful video but I am curious how many days per week should I give this my cage birds (goldfinch)

[@kevinmckinney9930]

Thank you so much for the link.

[@TheCanaryRoom]

absolute pleasure

[@FeatherBeautiful]

Wow !! I really enjoyed this video :)

[@TheCanaryRoom]

Thanks so much

[@richnewm]

just watched your video would this be the same process for budgies etc . i am a little bit worried about the water going stale ,also how many times should you possible wash it to get of the stale water off it

[@TheCanaryRoom]

I use a Milton type solution that stops the water going stale and wine thoroughly before serving

[@donnaqib786]

[@carlypegler8405]

Hi just wondering what make that microwave rice steamer is please

[@Seba13011]

Good job mister What do you call the cup you are using for measuring so I can order some please?

[@Seba13011]

Also can you please tell me where can I find them

[@mrsuperlatif]

Hiya Matt, Do you have to use special seeds or can you use normal canary mix ?

[@TheCanaryRoom]

It's a special mix for soak seed - to which i add additional mung beans

[@amwag82]

Can we buy the sprouting mix that we eat our self from the healthy stores?

[@jkrlos1111]

Hi, Matt, fantastic explanation!!! I stopped doing soak seed years ago because of a fungal infection, but I know that soak seed is the top food for the breeding season. I would like to know what's the difference between the Dr.Johnson's sterilising fluid and regular bleach, and why would Dr.Johnson's fluid be better than regular bleach? Thank you in advanced. Your videos are incredibly interesting.

[@TheCanaryRoom]

Thanks for the kind words I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos. For me the sterilising fluid is more gentle these bleach as it's primary design is obviously to clean baby products so it's more suitable for birds

[@DSmith-ix1xf]

Just look up sanitising water with bleach and you'll find amounts of drops per strength of bleach to use. Works great!

[@stephanthomson4804]

This is just regular bleach - sodium hypochlorite with some sodium hydroxide. Only the marketing pitch is different, to persuade people to pay more for a watered-down version of an already very cheap material. Though being more dilute, perhaps it's easier to dose in small amounts.

[@alexmac1953]

Hi matt.. got all the stuff I need now.. Can you tell me how many birds will it feed (The amount you made in video)

[@TheCanaryRoom]

Just seen this, I keep it in the fridge to stop it going off. It will last a couple of days

[@Ukman-england]

Can u use car oil I was told mites float to the top

[@kevinmckinney9930]

What is the brand of the rice steamer? I cannot find one with such fine holes?

[@pantoneconsultancyltd9902]

Kevin McKinney you can get them from Amazon here www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0018D2QCI/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@PedroNogueira1980]

i use Cider Vinegar

[@jeffeden7013]

Do you only feed soaked seed? Or do you feed it in addition to the dry seed?

[@Instinct245]

Superb

[@izabeau1953]

How do you use the sterilizing fluid. Do you rinse them with it or soak them in it ....how...! As I often sprout seeds for my birds, but didn’t know about the sterilizing fluid..

[@Kialeeanders1]

How long does the soaked seed keep for and how do you store it ?

[@TheCanaryRoom]

I usually make enough up for a day at a time, it will last a couple of days if refrigerated but be sure to run another lot of sterilising fluid through to make sure there's no bacteria

[@Kialeeanders1]

Thanks for replying and the videos you make they're very helpful
