Parrot Chow
1. Add various foods to a large bowl, such as
frozen mixed vegetables, diced fresh carrots and broccoli,
jalapeno pepper pieces, flax seeds, frozen cranberries,
baked beans, steamed rice or pasta, unsweetened coconut,
etc.
2. Mix the batch and freeze in several single-portion
containers or plastic baggies lined with wax paper.
3. Thaw a portion the night before serving inside your refrigerator.
4. Serve with thawed bird bread (toasted) or pellets or other favorite parrot food.
You can add another ingredient or two before serving.
If your parrots are picky eaters, they may need to see a mix of foods placed out at least a few times weekly for a few weeks before they start to eat from a mix of healthy foods.

Read this experience someone had to find out what can happen otherwise
| I've posted on Craigslist and Kijiji that I'm looking for an African Grey but don't have alot of "upfront" money to buy one -- just to give one a loving FOREVER home. Well, this morning I got my third scam offer from Nigeria. Someone sold a bird to a friend in Nigeria but this friend has decided that she doesn't have time for the bird so all I have to do is send the shipping cost (we didn't get down to figures because I didn't reply) and the bird would be mine. How sad that all these people have to do is cast a huge net and see if they can get 1 or 2 people to "buy" in to their scam. People like me lose trust every day. It's scary and sad. | ||
