chicken broth

well i have come to the conclusion, nut like's her evening meals with us! her table manners have improved :21: (some) but we still keep her in her sleep cage

this meal she loves, son is so-so on it an hubs likes it for lunch, i like it cos its tasty and low cal, high protien and fibre! plus its easy to store for another meal

80g of broth mix (barley, lentils, green split peas, haricot beans, marrowfat peas, red split lentils, yellow split peas, brown rice) these need to soak over night (at least 10hrs)

1 raw chicken carcass (i normally cut of legs, wings, breast to make other meals with) or a few chicken wings remove skin and wing tips

1 onion chopped

1 carrot

1 potatoe

chicken stock according to instructions and read through ingrerdient list, avoid MSG mono sodium glutamate, high salt content etc

after soaking the mix, rinse, place in a pan of cold water, bring to boil an let it boil for at least 10mins start the 10mins from boiling point

then drain, add veggies, chicken carcass or wings and cover with chicken stock, bring to boil again and simmer for 30mins till pulses are tender

serve :32:

i serve some of the bigger bones in nuts dish, as she loves the marrow and make sure its cooled down enough for her

I have thought of giving Ellsie bones before, but felt cannabalsim was odd hahahaha! but i thoght it would be good idea but never sure as most animals chicken bones are a no go??!!

Table manners are an issue at this house to with her, she may one day get the hint i dont share food or appreciate begging from any animal!

porrige is also a good one, she LOVES it if i give her a spoon ful when im done eating ( though not the tidiest of eaters!)

Onions are on the toxic list for birds. I do give Rosie chicken wing bones with some meat left on (skin removed). She loves them and eats them until the marrow is ingested. It is a very good source of protein. My avain vet said it was ok. She has been eating them for 2 years now with no problems.

i've looked onions up and garlic as i do use alot of it in my cooking and the site ilooked at said it was ok as a flavouring but not as food, but will omit onions for now thaks sb
