Quakers eating veggies- photo dump

[Pixiebeak]

I still get giddy when Penny eats romaine!! Think I mentioned this was a 2 year journey to eat leafy stuff!!! She started eating other veggies much sooner.

I just have her out with my right now as I make my breakfast

Bet a simple addition of “picture dump” will increase your traffic here! Let me know exactly what you want it to say and I’ll alter it for you

Thank you for name change !

He's not a Quaker but he's a new veggie convert! He picked out seeds and nuts from his offered variety at the rescue, so it's super fun to see him try new things now!! Here he's eating quinoa mixed with bell pepper and cilantro and red cabbage, making a giant mess of course

Great job on converting your seed eating rescue!!!
All parrots eating vegetables welcome!!
Makes me so happy to see, and sounds yummy.
I love that you rescued a feather picker!!
Cotton is adorable

Messy eaters! First week of chop!

 

[Pixiebeak]

Superb!!! Look at them go !

I've been feeding veggies in the little bowl on Cotton's play stand but am experimenting with luring him to explore his Pak O Bird, so made a yummy Pixiebeak style plate too.

Looks yummy! What is the creamy white stuff in your first food pic?

 

[Parutti]

A smidge of plain yogurt mixed with baby bird formula. My vet ok'd yogurt and Cotton's been doing much better since adding it to his overall foods. It also made it much easier to sneak his medication in.

I'm gonna bet that off the whole extra plate he eats the red pepper and a little cabbage and tosses everything else

Oh you sure did! Look almost identical! was he lured in?

 

[Parutti]

Sadly no, but he did eat the red pepper when I moved the plate to the top of his cage, and then I ate the rest

So much yummy variety

Budgie breakfast


Quarter was not in a photo mood but this is what he got and a couple pics of him.

I love everybody enjoying veggies!!! They are so gorgeous

Tortoise eating veggies? My Rexy’s breakfast. And of course a side salad of greens. If only I can get my lovies onto lettuce! I’m always so jealous when hear of peoples birds enjoying hanging romaine or different greens! But alas, we are team carbs over here! Gotta keep trying.

We're still a work in progress here, too, but that first fresh veggie is like a magic key that helps them realize it's food!

You will! Took 2 years for Penny! She really didn't understand leafy stuff for the longest time .

That ball stuffed is awesome
