Cherrios, Granola, muslei, flax seeds, dried strawberries, oatmeal, coconut, various kashi cereals, banana chips, pine nuts, a few little rice crackers and pumpkin seeds. Sometimes I will crush up some arrowroot and digestive cookies and add that.

I have a plain clean seed mix (that the vet makes), that has no extras in it, I add my own nuts to that.

So every night after supper they get a little bit of seed mix and a little bit of the cereal mix in a dish.
Their favorite part of the food day :)

It is kind of like an arrowroot cookie but it has more fibre in it. I think they are made by peek freens or christie's. My bird love love them :)

if you but the kashi cereal make sure you buy the stuff with less sugar, some has lots and multigrain cheerios

You can just use your own imagination to make a dry mix for your birds. In fact, it's good to change it on a regular basis so they don't get tired of it.

I will add, it was ML's idea for me to do this. Ever since, the birds have been enjoying it.
