Frequently Asked Questions

What is paddy rice?
Paddy rice is unhusked rice — rice still in its outer husk. Many bird species prefer paddy rice over husked rice as the husk provides additional fibre and the birds enjoy the process of husking the grain themselves, providing natural foraging enrichment.

Can I sprout paddy rice?
Yes — paddy rice can be soaked and sprouted, which increases its nutritional value by activating enzymes and increasing vitamin content. Sprouted rice is particularly beneficial during the breeding season.
