    Advice on chop

    Pictures How I feed my little birds veggies with no waste

    *waste caused by bird doesn't count ;) Hopefully this is helpful to someone :) Each of my birds gets about a teaspoon of salad a day (like a real metal teaspoon, not the measurement) so it can be difficult to make such a small amount of food without wasting some of it. Before, I would use a...
