Ok, so I was at my friends house and we decided to make her birds something new. We took a wheat pasta and cooked that. Then we took a potato peeler and we used it to make long shreds of cucumbers, daikon radish, and carrots. It comes out looking like fettuccine pasta noodles. We mixed the wheat pasta and veggie shreds together. We then put tomatoes in a blender and poured them into the noodle mix. Added some chopped leafy greens and chopped nuts.. we let it sit for a while to soak up the juices and then fed the birds. OMG the birds went totally nuts over this! I am going to make it for Kali when she comes home!

WARNING: very messy!

That is such a cute idea! Next time we have spaghetti I'll have to swipe some of the noodles and make this for PB.

Oh and I'll warn everyone to watch for flying noodles. :D

Thanks for sharing!

Hahah as I was reading your recipe I was thinking to myself if I give this to Tango, I better set up my dining area like one of Dexter's kill rooms LOL!

You are about right about that... LOL! We gave hers the spaghetti in her dining room (all tile floors) we got the idea while eating spaghetti and her birds trying to attack our plates. They were so cute though holding the strips with their feet and eating. They had tomato all over their beaks..hah.... after they were done, they look like raptors who had just made a kill.... but cute raptors lol

ROFL.

PB is very generous with her food as well and likes to fling it all around. I'm always finding bits of her food stuck to me. The dog loves this, and I love him even more for being my fuzzy Hoover. A vacuum and mop in one. You can't beat that. Of course, unless his daddy feeds him beans and he magically floats to the ceiling, I don't think he could clean food from there. :09:

My dogs wait on the floor under the island where Gilbert eats dinner....as the food flings, the floor is licked. What I hate is when he and I are eating and his half chewed pieces fly over and land on my plate. I am always saying "HEY!! Don't throw that at me?!" haha And he is a small bird, almost centered on the island....so I can only envision what a larger bird in a different spot could do. Splatter Pa. LOL (we call pasta "PA" like Alex the grey did....just because it was cute and it stuck).

Ewwww! LOL! Of course I can't talk. I offer PB bites of my food all the time and she likes to tongue everything, especially forks. She's a little weirdo. :)
