  • Instructional/How-To make fresh food for my birds.
    A request from our ParrotTalk page. Good for small-med size birds. ParrotTalkBC
    Harrison's mash is a blend of the pellets/protein that is easy to sprinkle on food OR to mix with hotwater (cooled) for weaning babies. OR as a conversion food...
    Just chop the veggies a bit & grind it finer in the veggie chopper. I bought it for 25$ on sale. Hamilton Beach brand.

    I do something similar but it's a much more complex mix, I make 20-40 pounds at a time and I sell it to my local pet store for their birds as well. I use these ingredients: Brown rice, black beans, pinto beans, sprouted kamut wheat, sprouted mung bean, wild rice, kale, collard greens, turnip greens, bok choy, bell pepper, butternut squash, sweet potato, papaya, mango, apple, strawberry, carrot, hemp hearts, flax seed, chia seed, coconut oil, green beans, shredded chicken, and various nuts, usually 3-5 kinds, as well as added calcium and probiotics. it's the only thing my birds eat. Seeds are a training treat only for them.

    I think birds need a lot of variety but we do the best we can. it's not like in the wild where they feed on just about anything...seeds I would say, as I've read, is very high in fat/calories for them. I just feed them like a healthy person would eat, minus the toxic foods of course, but try to get in some nutrients, protein...I think you're doing the right thing:)

We have 3 budgies, lovebird (her mate Mica died about 3 months ago, he was 22). Conure, Senegal, 2 doves (one which is albino), 14 parrotlets. (2 albino).

    A parrotlet is a wonderful little bird for first time bird adoptions.
    My little guy has been with us for 2 years and has no problems.
    It's about who takes care of him. If every family member has a part in it, the parrotlet will learn to love everyone.

    There are alot of people in the comments saying that their bird only eats seeds from when they were at the store, bro I just feel blessed that my bird loves his pellets more than his seeds. (I mix in a small amount of seeds into his food just to give him a lil bit more of a varied diet)

      @marledebakkerunicorn 7 лет назад +9

      I am not the person that made the video, but I had my bird from when he was 2 months old, and I started with a mashed fruity thing like this only more blended, from there on I threw whole or parts of fruits in and my Amazone being a real nosy guy tried everything. Now he eats everything as long as it is not red LOL.

    LOL Bowie just cheered for your safety-lock comment! GREAT video. I like how Bowie acted as the producer and oversaw the video's making. Hazel was so cute with tiny tastes first. Also cute how when you put your hand up to pet her, she snuggled up to it so quickly, regardless of how BooBoo complained! LOL If I come to visit, may I eat with the birds please? Just one request, a slightly larger bowl please. Thank you for sharing.

  • @angelangie51
    @angelangie51 12 лет назад

    Thanks for the info on the mash mix. I like to buy whatever is in season for organic as well. I try not to give them too much cabbage because cabbage can prevent the absorption of calcium. I get kale or swiss chard depending on the price/season/what they had last, and I always have to include beets since my parrotlet will only eat what is red. Also if I included fruit they wouldn't eat their veggies, so fruit is given after.

    it is very good way you did ,,, crush Harrison pellet or soaked with hot water ( I do always for my birds ) it is much better than dry .. and good way to mix with soft food .
    my birds love harrison pellet soaked with warm water and after feeding them soft and it is very good for bird health.

  • @pixelmator
    @pixelmator 12 лет назад +1

    Chef Bowie is the little helper today, lol. Careful not to have apple seeds in there or other vegies cause of the toxins that they can't handle, but that does look very healthy for them. I try some dried cranberries and raisins too, mine love those. Also they enjoy dried pasta. But I'll certainly have to try this to see how birds like it. Be careful of peanuts and almonds. Too many can be hard on birds digestion cause of the fat content.

I should put some of the ingredients I use in my smoothie into a little chopper so that Bean and Rooster get some yummy mash too. I make them harrison's birdie bread and bake them into little muffin tins and freeze. They won't eat the pellets, but will nom on the bread after I reheat it and chop it up into small bits.

I have this stuff called "poop-off" (google it) & it's natural enzymes that wipe bird poop off pretty easy. even hard poop u just soak it in the liquid for a minute & it comes off. otherwise they're on their playgyms or cages so they can poop there & not on furntiture or carpet. I have plastic lined under al their cages & playgyms to make cleaning easier

    Ellios pizza or scrambled eggs.Every other week its Quaker oats instant oatmeal..
    He loves spinach and other greens, but pizza is his thang.
