Do any of your birds like beans?

I have tried several of those heat and eat birdie meals and even tried making several recipes from scratch (including the seven layer mix). My birds love them up to a point. Out of all the birds in the rescue and my own birds only about five of them will eat any beans. They pick the beans out flick them on the floor and go back to eating everything else in sight. I have tried the ones in the seed mixes, the 15 bean mix, canned beans rinsed well, and about any other kind I can find and they still leave the beans and eat everything else.

Well our female ekkie is one of the few that will actually eat them and my grey Lewy will eat anything I give him. But most of them just shove them out to the floor!

My grey likes Fava beans and I also prepare, cook and mash different types of beans in her weekly mash.

All 3 of my Zons ~ aka Stomach's With Wings :hehe: would be beak deep in any bean offering!! However, all 3 will throw a Nutriberrie to the floor faster than speeding bullet :(. Not to mention no one will even touch the daily offerings of Zupreem Avian Maint blended in the safflower mix! I am however having a little luck with the Rowdybush pellets :)

All of mine do: Rosie (CGCC) Bobbie (Jenday), Ayesha (Ekkie), Shrek (Caique), Jasmine (RB2).:dancing:

I started out with the Bean Crusine mixtures for birds, and as I learn which beans were good for spouting and which were not..started buying and cooking a 16 bean mix, brown rice and assorted veggie combination. :)

Well we keep trying LOL! Even though most don't eat the beans I still leave them in any of the mixtures in the hopes that someone will eat at least a few of them:D

all mine love beans, Kaycee is a fan of green beans but when it comes to birdie bread my birds eat it all and half the time i swear they lick the bowl clean there isn't even crumbs to be found.

That is one place ours will eat the beans or at least eat part of them. In birdie bread. I usually don't see a scrap of any veggies or beans after they get birdie bread. So I guess they will eat beans at times LOL!

sometimes they do sometimes they dont. depends on teh day - however apparently the birds at Mollywood avian sactuary prefer the beans to my amazing birdie bread. With that said mine will go for veggies before pellets mostly, beans before most veggies, grains before beans, and bread before all else (very rough timeline as they are all different but thats fairly close)

mine love beans but there comes a point where they get tired of it and either ignore them or fling them with anger to the floor, or my face (tequila) :hehe:
