It looks like Tinker is finally off the Parrot seed mix from the bulk food store. He now eats his breakfast of beans, chick peas etc that Teresa cooks up for him. I give him pellets soaked on a bit of Pomegranate juice everyday at noon that he loves. Puss he eats his dry pellets that are always available.
We used this muffin mix I found somewhere and he devours it at bed time.
Parrot Muffins Recipe
Thought I'd share my recipe for parrot muffins for anyone who's interested, my girls love them!
2 very ripe bananas
1 jar of vegetable baby food
2 tbsp organic virgin coconut oil
2 tbsp red palm oil
1 egg (with crushed shell)
2 tbsp honey
1/2 cup water
1 cup pellets
1/2 cup almonds
2 cups corn bread mix (from bulk barn)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tap baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp chili powder
Preheat oven to 350
In a large bowl:
Mash bananas
Add baby food, oils, egg and water and honey. Blend with mixer until smooth
Powderize (not a real word) egg shell, almonds and pellets in a blender
Slowly add dry ingredients while mixing
Grease mini muffin tin, fill each cup about 2/3 full and bake for 15-20 min or until toothpick comes out clean
(You can also make in a shallow cake pan and cut into squares)
My girls get 1/2 a muffin each per day as a treat. Enjoy!
