Homemade Nutriberry type treats.

[clawnz]

Here are a couple of simple mixes that will be healthy and your Fids will love them. It is the only way i get my Tiels to eat a bit of fruit.
I have not seen any other food offered to so many Fids, that has been almost 100% excepted after only a couple of offers of these treats.
I also use these almost daily as part of my own Tiels diet.

Oknuma's Reciepe Which I started with.
I popped some mixed nuts, mixed dried fruit, some plain muesli, oats and dried coconut into the blender and chopped the heck out of it. I then popped in some bird seed mix as well ( less than an 1/8 of the rest of the mixture) and chopped again.

Now here comes the messy part. I popped in a bit of molasses just enough to make it sticky. I wet my hands and then rolled into little nutriberri sized balls.

I baked them on some grease proof paper ( lowest possible heat and fan bake. ) Just like I do with the seed bell treats I make.

I figure he can have one or two a day and the rest can freeze

anyway some pics..
after baking them on the really low fan heat for about 30 mins they are firm enough to roll over. ( some of them went flat, maybe too much molasses in those balls? )

The extra egg shells were to help boost Roxy's low calcium issue.
The other thing about this is you can add minerals and vitamins if you like.
Not that I think you will need to.

Thanks for sharing that Clawnz. I might just have to try that at some stage. I also have awful trouble getting my tiel to eat fruit. Veggies are ok, but not fruit.
