Lots of good ideas here and they make the chop in huge quantities.

I love the author, Patricia Sund. She has really helped me get creative with my birds' healthy diet.

I prefer to just do what I have on hand for just one bird. You can get really creative with chop and don't forget to use what is in season!

I use this site as the inspiration for my bird's chop and have done so for several years. It's great that you've reminded us by sharing it here.

I really don't get fancy with one bird. Don't like to freeze it because it's foolishly afterwards. With my new baby budgie will start simple because he has never had veggies. I will food process carrots, Apple's and broccoli. Then sprinkle with millet. I think eventually he will get some in the beak and this mix should taste sweet.

I thaw mine in the fridge, wrapped in paper towels which absorb the moisture. I change the paper towel a couple of times and doing this, I've found that my chop is no longer soggy after having been frozen.

Great idea!

That's a really good idea! I rarely ever freeze Mash because it's always soggy.

Before you freeze it in bags or an ice cube tray, mix in uncooked grains such as oats, to absorb the excess moisture.

I have also had good luck using a salad spinner to get rid of excess moisture before freezing
