I picked up some brussel sprouts for my birds but I don't know what to do with them. Do you cook them? If so how? Thanks

Jingo LOOOOOOVES brussel sprouts! Since its just him what I do is take 3-4 and put it in a small covered bowl with about an inch of water, and microwave them for a 2-3 minutes. I then can skewer them up, or I cut them into smaller pieces and put them in his veggie bowl.

Otherwise you can just boil them up or steam them

I buy them on occasion and feed them raw. Some of my birds eat them, some of them don't.

I give fresh, uncooked brussels sprouts to our birds when in season. They love them!

Thanks for getting back to me so fast. I think I'll try them both ways.
