That looks delicious. Is it a cooked food?

Yeah it's a mix of grains and dried fruits, etc that you warm up with hot water or in the microwave A favorite here!

I have been giving the finely chopped chop the last few days, but because I put beet root in, it all turned pink and didn't look photo worthy

Today is more of the chunky chop, and some soaked and sprouted seeds. I have a new sprout mix on the way as Ripley actually seems interested in these for once!

Usual food but with some scotch bonnet chilli

This is Ope's favorite way to eat - now that I have a little time back in my days I'm hoping to do a lot more foraging choices for their daily foods.

That's super cool! What are you using to hold the food?

Really like that

It's just one of those skewer perch things that is sold filled with crinkle paper But then I move it to different places around Opie's cage. Like this one:

Genius. Thank you!

Here's their dinner - they're used to roudybush crumbles but I'm adding the bigger ones and if they like them I can use them in foraging toys



Opie also gets Harrisons but for now Cotton doesn't since I'm trying to see if peanuts are an issue for him. If not I'll try the Hagen pellet with no corn/soy. Just ruling out food sensitivities with his plucking even though it's not very likely.



My no-waste solution - Maynard gets anything the birds don't eat, slightly steamed. Anything she doesn't eat the outdoor wildlife gets along with pellet crumbs and uneaten seeds from my visiting cockatiel

I've definitely reused some of the birds' uneaten veggies for myself too when there aren't seeds/pellet crumbs mixed in, just mixed in with my dinner

Nauti's breakfast
Not very magnificent, but considering I haven't done veggies for a couple days it's adequate. Q and Budgies got the same in chop form minus the fruit.
Includes carrot (+ greens), broccoli, zucchini, and dill. Grapes and mango for fruit!

Stressed and not having access to the fridge at the restaurant this week so I bought a “kale slaw” mix with red and green cabbage, shaved kale, broccoli and cauli stems, shaved Brussels. It’s making my life easier since I don’t have to break down a bunch of veggies for my tortoise. I just chopped it up more for the birds, added more broccoli florets, zucchini, carrots, red endive, pepper seeds. This will be the base for the next week, but tomorrow I will bake sweet potato and cook brown rice. Sometimes being lazy pays off!

 

[Parutti]

Yummy!!

 

[DannyT]

Oh, salad? Don't mind if I do

 

[VanSwss]

I didn't take a picture - but it was chop day Saturday. Ugh..my back HATES chop day and I really need to by a bigger food processor! My mix was broccoli, kale, green beans, red/yellow bell pepper, carrots, zucchini, brussel sprouts, spinach, rolled oats, lentils, brown rice and some flax and almonds. Had bought peas, but forgot to put them in!

Cotton doesn't at all care for green food so I've started putting leaves on top of his pellets. He's not impressed

He LOVES sweet peppers though so here's his treat stick for the day
