Can parakeets eat a hamster food like sunflower seeds?
They should not eat salted sunflower seeds, the salt is toxic and can kill them. Either buy unsalted seeds or wash them with warm water for a while . Parakeets are very small so too much salt could add up quickly in them, and too many sunflower seeds may be to much fat as well. Just try a couple unsalted.
What is the process of growing sunflower seeds?
Sunflower seeds grow behind the yellow part of the sunflower. I buy sunflower seeds at Wal-Mart, as soon as February. They have very inexpensive seeds at 10 cents per package. These inexpensive seeds are usually open pollinated, or non-hybrid. This means that you can save some of the seeds for planting. Hybrid plants often produce more seeds, but those seeds are not usually good for planting. I plant sunflower seeds after the last frost where they will get full sunlight. By late fall, the seeds are mature, and I cut the flowers off the stalks, tie three or four of them together, and hang them up to dry. When dry, rubbing your hand hard over the flower will knock the seeds loose. They are still in their shells. Save some to plant next year. Eat the rest. Birds like the seeds a lot and will try to eat them off the plants.
Do bigger sunflower seeds grow into bigger sunflowers?

Do you cook sunflower seeds?
Pick your seeds out of the sunflower and put them into a bowl. Pour water into the bowl, enough as to where the sunflower seeds are floating. Then add salt to the water and seeds, depending on how many seeds you have, start with 1/4 cup of salt and stir real good. Let them set in the salt water over night. Stir them now and then. After soaking all nite, drain the water off and put the seeds on wax paper and let dry. They will turn white. Take a cookie sheet and put butter or margarine on it and heat it up and spread the margarine out to coat the pan. Set oven at 350. put the seeds on the cookie sheet and bake about 15 minutes. Make sure you stir the seeds up so they get coated with margarine. Let them cool. You can crack them and eat the insides or eat them whole. Enjoy...
