Time saving recipe

[HusseinBerjaoui]

When I'm really busy, I just chop every possible veggie, fruit and beans, I mix them together in a bowl and I keep it in the fridge. I get Mango's eating bowl and I fill it with this mix, and he eats almost everything.
Since our food is varied, my parrot's is too. We both win !

Well done! Might want to add in some grains for more variety!

Curious if you leave this in the cage with your bird?? I have been in the habit of leaving pellets during the day when i am at work and feeding fresh foods for the evening meal because i'm scared of leaving food out all day if he doesn't eat it??

 

[HusseinBerjaoui]

He will eat once hungry, unless he has a behavioral problem then this is another thing.
But you can always feed him, even if he has a full bowl, he'll always prefer taking from the hand !
Thanks Monika ! Is it okay to give him raw grains, like uncoocked lentilles ?

 

[MonicaMc]

Lentils are actually legumes ("beans"), not grains. I've only fed them cooked, or if in a sprout blend, sprouted.
