Just for fun...!

I was mixing up Pocket's and the budgie's (Yuki and Luna) food today and thought I should grab a picture to share.

But at the same time, I want to see what other people feed their birds

Diet for Pocket is as follows:

Dried:
Premium Parrot Mix
Dried Fruits
Vetafarm Pellets
Peanuts
Organic Pasta (made from corn, beetroot, rice, spinach)

He was weaned onto seeds by the breeder, but I'm weaning him onto pellets at the moment. Pellet ratio is 1 part pellets to 4 parts seed currently.

Veggies:
Mix of: Zuchinni, Broccoli, Celery, Carrot, Peas, Snow Peas, Beans, Chillis, Cauliflower, Pumpkin, Sweet Corn, Raddish, Capsicum, Eggplant

I think I prepared waay too much though... :S These get thrown in the freezer and taken out each night to defrost. Hoping that they don't get freezer burn. ><

Fruit:
Whatever is in season or what I'm eating at the time XD
Last night he had lychee, passionfruit, apple and nectarine.
Night before was dragonfruit, passionfruit, apple and mango.

Nuts:
Cracked, in shell
Brazillian, Almonds, Walnuts, Hazelnuts.
Ordered some pine nuts, will see if he likes those.

No one else has food pictures to share?

I really am curious as to what other people are feeding their birds!

haha here we go
We have tried alot to figure out his favourite

Fargo has:
Vetafarm South American
Vetafarm nutriblend (coloured)- almost ran out of that one again already

Then we have tried-
Kaytee and Roudybush.. hes not a huge fan of those..

Then he has the paswell nut/fruit mix, but hes almost out of that, and then just got him this bag of mixed seed/nuts/dried fruit, i just dont give him many of the seeds

Nuts he has pecans, as you can see he tried to destroy the box and then almonds, but he doesnt eat them, just loves cracking the nut, so i just give them to him as a toy hahaha

I havnt got any pictures of his veges he gets, but it looks very similar to your batch

This is what my fids get on a daily basis
It's the MSBS parrot mix, and I also add several Goldenfeast mixes and additional pellets

These nuts are for my Macs

My homecooked stuff

And fresh fruits and veggies

Here is what I make monthly, plus or minus a few things, mix it all together into balls, flash freeze on cookie sheet and then put into freezer bags~ from the top left pumpkins, squash and sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts/broccoli, quino, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, flax seed, craisins, carrots

I feel so lazy but often, in addition to Gil's pellets, he has one meal per day with me. I am vegetarian and generally eat a mixture of veggies and grains of some type (often whole wheat pasta)....i eat a lot like the photos of the veggies you mix for your birds, LOL. Anyhow, i usually just scoop some into a bowl for Gil before i season mine or add oils, etc. He doesn't like to eat dinner with me when what i feed him looks different from what i eat.

Does this count??? :54:

Tilapia fillets

Shrimp on the Barbie

Cooked on the BBQ

Chicken Breast fillets

Hungry yet???

And yes, the birds get some of it (they go nuts for the chicken, fish and shrimp )

I'm on my way....don't let the food get cold.

One thing we REALLY miss about living on the coast, all we had to do was drive over a bridge right by our house and take the 1st exit on the other side. They had this street there that was nothing but fresh seafood markets (and a restaurant or 2) where you bought straight off the boats! It doesn't get any fresher (or cheaper) than it was there......


This pic is after the hurricane hit so a lot is missing, most of it is back now.
