So, i got tired of buying fresh veggies that go bad within a week. i just bought dandelions 2 days ago and they started to wilt already. a whole bundle just doesnt last with 4 small parrots. so, i decided to make a batch of mash to freeze in the freezer and just take out a day's worth at a time. so i threw in the following: dandelion cilantro red leaf lettuce bok choy broccoli carrot red pepper seeds i put it all in the food chopper and chopped it all at different sizes since my birds all like different sizes. so everyone is happy with it lol. they all really like it so far, so i'm happy the whole flock appreciates my labour over this dish lol anyways, i took photos of the whole process. first i cut off the ends of the stems of all my veggies, removed any browning leaves from the bundles, and washed them all. this was the dandelion bundle before it was chopped  chopped dandelion  carrot chopped in different sizes, for different preferences    added red pepper seeds  red leaf lettuce about to be chopped  chopped lettuce added to the mash mix  broccoli chopped in different sizes (super fine and chunky)   cilantro about to be chopped  cilantro added to the mash  bok choy about to be chopped  bok choy added to mash  everything all mixed together  all the birds enjoying the mash     and for fun, this is currently what our freezer door looks like!!!  |

This time's mash: Cooked sweet potato, cooked yucca root, cooked carrot, cooked broccoli, corn, peas, green beans, seed, cantaloupe seed, powdered pellets, red palm oil, and finely chopped raw kale. All mashed up! I made enough to freeze too. I put a day's worth in its own little baggies and put it in a bigger bag. It seems to have mixed reviews so far. Munch, who normally likes mash, isn't really keen on it, but she has been picky lately on food since she's been on eggs. But, the rest of the flock seem to like it, Mango and Tsuka like it the most!! Photos: everything boiling....  the finished product:  The birds enjoying!           you can see some other foods i feed my birds here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.108798165946254.18215.108747479284656&type=1 |
