šŸŒ± Did you know that microgreens are great for your birds because the fiber tends to break down easier than full-grown plants & it cleanses their digestive tracts while giving them the right nutrients!

Ā 

šŸŒ± Microgreens are full of Omega 3ā€™s, minerals and fiber, vitamins, and anti-cancer polyphenols.Ā¹ You can read more about birds and microgreens on our Hamama Pets: Our Furry, Feathered, & Scaly Friends blog post!Ā
