A lad I know uses LOADS of it and does it all in a cool box. Treat it the same as you would hemp

One of the 'old school' favourites. Prepare and use like hemp, as others have said.

Do you rate it Ken? How does it compare to hemp, in your opinion?

I'm sorely tempted to order a sack once I've run out of hemp. More cost effective too.

Yep!

I remember when Haith's used to sell just about every seed, cereal, bean and pulse you could mention. Sad to see their product list so slim these days. Back in the day I got sacks of BW from them as they used to sell it as a feed for parrots, parakeets and pigeons. At one time it was included in their Red Band Pigeon Conditioner.
