Hello,
I wanted to make a chop for my birds and had a couple of questions I thought you might be able to answer. My chop is being made of the list below which Im making raw to then freeze:
- Brocolli
- cauliflower
- carrots
- red radishes with greens
- red bell peppers
- Old fashioned rolled oats
- White quinoa
- flax seeds
- chia seeds
I then realized I have no legumes yet so I want to add split green peas, but I am confused on whether to soak or not. I read that its safe to give raw but then saw it wasn't and I am a bit confused. Do you soak the split green peas for 8-12 hours and cook before adding it?
My other question is do you cook the quinoa or can it be added raw? same for the oats?
My last 2 questions are how long do you offer the chop for? and how much should you feed an African grey, quaker, lovebird, and parakeet?
Thank you for all those that answer, I am trying my best and want to make a good delicious and very healthy chop.
