My budgies were only fed on shop bought seed and so when I got them, they refused anything else. I’m working on them having a more healthy diet so I’m making this today! 😊
That is superb, it's really nice to see someone care so much for their animals and take the time to make healthy foods rather than just buy a bag of bird food and think that it will provide all the nutrition a bird needs. I don't even have a bird but I really enjoyed watching your video. Well done you and I wish you and your birds so much health and happiness.
Although it’s unfortunate that you don’t have as nearly as much subscribers or views that you deserve, I sincerely hope you keep making videos regardless. I enjoy your content/editing and the fact that you’re green cheek conure specific (because I’m getting one soon) makes me feel super invested in your videos! I hope you don’t stop making videos!
I normally make tiny batches of chopped veggies and keep it in the fridge for a couple days then add the legumes, grains, sprouts and seeds separately - it does mean that their isn’t as much variety but for some reason Archie hates frozen/thawed foods -
Thats great, fresh chop is the best chop! 😊 My birds love fresh chop and will also eat thawed chop too! I normally make their chop fresh every few days when I have time and will freeze a batch that lasts for a month so I can switch it up the next month
Watching this video in 2023 with a new baby conure and it’s been the greatest help. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge so we can be better humans for our babies ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing! You have made meal time so much easier for my and my conure! He never used to like my vege mix very much and would only eat the fruit but he is loving this and now actually eating more vegetables than fruit!
I just wanna say the recipe that you shared with me has been a lifesaver I have been using it a few days now and I've been seeing a drastic change in my birds behaviour thank you
Can I just say: Thank you for this🙏🏻I am kind of new with my budgies since they came to me after my mom died. I have always thought that bird chop is so hard and expensive make, but when you said that you can also stop here after all the veggies, it just made the whole thing feel a little less intimidating😍🥰
I've been following this recipe for my conures for a while now. Thank you 💚I make up a batch of lentils and quinoa seperate from the other ingredients and freeze those in ice-cube trays and then I mix all the other chop ingredients together in my food processor and freeze those in ice cube trays. I pop one of each cube in a container in the fridge every night and they are thawed by the morning. I squish them up in their food bowl and they both absolutely love it. I feel good about their diet and that they are getting all of the nutrients necessary to live a healthy and happy life. I've had them both for 13 years so they are doing so well. I also feed them Vetafarm Maintenance pellets and B-Calm pellets as well and take them for a vet check up with an Avian vet once a year.
for my bird(a cockatiel), the way you make the chop and how she sees me make it is definitely a key factor into whether she will eat it or not. when i first started making her chop, she ONLY liked greens like lettuce and kale(but i added peppers and cauliflower and other veggies so she could have more variety to the chop), so i made the chop with her so that she could see how i made it, and i would eat and offer her a sample before putting an ingredient in the blender(or food processor). i also sprinkled in some millet and her regular pellets to her first serving in front of her so that it would entice her to eat it more, and she LOVED it. i did the same thing for her next few servings and then just stopped, and she loves it and eats all of it every time! i’m definitely going to make a bunch of chop that will last a couple months and store it in the freezer in an ice cube tray though.
Just wanted to say thank you! Valuable information!!! I didn't know how but now definitely will do it for my birds which I love so much!!! They saved me from depression = saved my life 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Iv been watching so many videos on birdchop but moste ones has been for bigger birds or ppl who has a whole lot of then. So seeing you freeze it and how u do it was so calming to see haha.
For my budgies I normally make a moist mix and add in uncooked grains, seeds, and ligaments, (such as flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, brown rice, wild rice, peas, lentils, quinoa ect.) to soak up any extra moisture than feed that fresh for a week than change it up, I have them use foraging bowls for there Harrison's pellets and give millet and black sunflower seeds as treats
Those little birds eat very well. That’s a lot of ingredients in the chop. I think I’d break it down and start with a base and add different veggies and grains daily. My Senegal eats very well and enjoys a varied fresh chop daily.
My first bird chop ended up being a green puree with white rice. I wish I had some pita bread. I have enough for months. Now, I have to try to get more fresh vegys...somehow. Won, I highly recommend the food processor we both have. Of course, there's the issue of me becoming completely honest with myself that the different blades are a bit intimidating to me. I'm about 60 years older than you, so I don't have as much time to figure out the correct side of the blade to use. 🔪 I am going to give Chop another try ~ my tiel deseves more than a bunch of greens, yellows and orange food on a dish. Cuz I luvz her 🍃💕🐦 Thanks for this video. It's been the most. helpful one that I have seen & it's good to know that I can freeze the "green pureed" stuff for my golden years. It can be placed in my cooler and I can hide my 6 pack of my fav cold beverage🍹 beneath the gallons of chop and all of this can be transferred with me to my long term residential community. I will try again. 😊 Thank you
Really enjoy watching your videos and ideas. I make chop for my cockatiel all the time and the ice cube tray is brilliant and will use this idea. Thank you! Keep the videos going. Your pets are Beautiful. 😉 Won fan!!
Girl you rock! Been looking at a variety of bird videos and came across yours. Definitely the most useful, great information. See you have a dog. How about a video on how you acclimated your birds with your dog. I have a conure 3 year old and recently purchased a cairn terrier and am worried about best approach to getting them comfortable with each other. Thanks.
Thank you so much for all your content! Honestly we're in the process of adopting a beaky addition and found all your videos so helpful, thank you for sharing 😊
I've been really frustrated that my chop, especially of fruits and veggies, tends to be mushy like a smoothie. Now my baby's a little vitamin A deficient, so I got a vitamin supplement and am trying to introduce chopped carrots. Wish us luck lol
i got my lovebird like 3 days ago its kinda hard giving it fresh veggies and keep it away from to much seeds. atleast it likes dried fruits and veggies
Try not to be tough on yourself. Vegetables are expensive and for those of us who can't get out and/ or afford to buy much it's difficult. My first chop I got overly ambitious with the PULSE setting on my new food processor. I ended up with a slush ~ even though I used almost a full bag of carrots. I didn't add fruit. Should have because I ate some to see if I should give it to my cockatiel. She liked it the first day. I was thrilled. Not so much the next day. I was so happy and hopefull. Happy because I figured out the food processor. Hopeful because my little cockatiel needs to regain her health. It was an epic fail. I'm going to try again. I hope you do, too and that your parrot starts getting stronger soon. Thank-You. 💕.
thanks so much! 💕 it can be kept in the freezer for 2-3 months max! i like keeping mine in the freezer for up to one month. i feel like the longer you keep it in the freezer, the more the texture will change when its thawed
I keep nuts aside as treats, although my bird enjoys a ‘bread’ made from nuts, seeds and grains. It does not have wheat or gluten or sugar in it. I have been using tiny bites of that ‘bread’ as treats. It works well as positive re-enforcement.
I watched this and I loved it and when I asked my mom too do it she said no cuz her last bird got sick from eating fresh food cuz of bacteria but you washed it realy good and my mom still says no all he eats is seeds and pellets I want him too have more variety and she’s only had one or two birds far apart in her life and she said that well he doesn’t chew on his road perches or he doesn’t even like the happy hut the only thing she agreed with was the dowl perches and the sand perches
My baby cockatiel is coming home on the 23rd and I genuinely cannot express how helpful your videos have been. Can I ask your opinions on pellets? I spoke to my birds breeder and she explained that she does not feed pellets but rather beans/rice/vegetables/seeds. What is it about pellets that is unhealthy? Are they just too high in fats, etc? Thanks again!
Hi 👋 my opinion on it is that they should have pellets, just make sure it is an organic and complete pellet like Harrison’s 👍 since they can help with any lacking nutrients!
Hey!! thanks for the video!!! I use my rice cooker for almost everything i eat.. hahaha do you think it would be possible to mix the grains and the legumes and cook it together... like quinoa, rice and lentils? then i can freeze portions and thaw when i want to serve, right?? thanks
thanks so much for watching! rice cookers are the best haha! hmm I think the lentils may still be a bit hard if you cook it with the grains because it needs more water to cook so I'd cook it separately just to be safe!
hi I’m getting a green cheek tomorrow and I’m not sure if it could eat powered food it’s like powder mixed with water (idk if that makes any sense but it can’t fly yet) I was told that it cold eat it and I should feed it apples as a snack
Just a question: isn't the amount of naturally-occuring sugars in sweet potatoes and carrots and the like too much for parrots? I could be wrong, but I was just curious
Absolutely loving your videos. I do have a question. I’m going to be a new green check owner. If you feed them the chop in the morning, what do they eat for lunch and dinner?
Pellets, that should be about 60-70% of a conures diet, chop, and save almonds, pistachios, and sunflower seeds as treats, any nuts are treats. Make sure to only feed them around 5 nuts total max
I used to give my parrots a lot of fruit when they started growing up after a while I started trying to replace them with veggies but they don’t like them as much so I feed them tons of veggies with theor happy piece of banana
One question, how long can I keep the bird chop inside the fridge after defrosting? I'm following your advice of using an ice tray, but it takes like four meals for my birds to eat that. I don't have sense of smell so I don't know if I can serve it the next 1-2 days or if it gets spoiled .
Hi there! Love your videos. Question: the sweet potato, did you cook it and then chop it into the mixture or did you add it the the food processor with the rest of the veggies? I really like your chop it has everything in it. Will be trying it out this weekend. Do yours defrost mushy? I find that my chop once I defrost from the freezer is mushy and no longer has that crispness it originally has when you first make it and only keep it in the fridge.
Hi, thank you so much! 💕Yes so I like baking the sweet potatoes, scooping it off the skin with a spoon, and then adding it to the chop after the food processor, it leaves small little chunks of potato in the chop that my birds LOOVE. You could also just cook it and throw everything into the food processor if that's easier for you! Frozen chop does come out a bit mushy which is normal because freezing things will ruin/destroy the cellular structure of the veggies so it just comes out mushy and sad looking haha. That's the one downside about freezing chop so the alternative is making enough chop to last a few days in the fridge, any more than a few days and the chop could start getting funky.
@@FlyingFids Thank you so much for replying to me. I really appreciate it. Yeah I think I’ll have to make chop every couple days or I was going to buy that machine that sucks the air out of the bag and seals it to keep it fresh in the freezer. I don’t know if it will work but it’s worth a try. Otherwise I’ll just have to make it every few days and keep it in a sealed Tupperware. Thanks for your recipe. I ordered all the ingredients today so they will have a new chop for tomorrow. They will be happy. Continue making Awesome videos. They are great and I love watching!!! I’ll also be building a PVC playgym. I’ll let you know how that turns out. I need to buy myself a drill. LoL
@@FlyingFids I made your chop recipe today And wanted to tell you that my birds LOVED it. They are and ate and ate and wouldn’t stop. I was so happy. Thank you.
Ususlly you make it for how long ?, and is there a texture issue after it is thaw out ? Also at how many weeks after the bird can self eat should i start giving it to them ?
I'm getting a green cheek conure soon and I haven't seen anywhere how much I should be feeding them in the day and at night. How much chop, and pellets should I feed for ever meal?
for mine, i keep her pellets in her cage all the time, before i go to bed i’ll take them out so in the morning she gets a heaped tbsp of chop. it’s especially easier to give them chop in the morning because that’s when their most hungry, so it’s perfect for picky eaters.
Another question: for the ice cube molds, is one cube a fit serving for a single parrot? a.k.a, can i give my parrot a single cube of this and it would be a sufficient meal?
Uhm I just got my bird children and I am planning to give them veggies since they are already able to eat hard meal, I just wanna ask what to do if the veggies chop from the freezer should I give them like that or should I let it soaked in warmwater so the ice melt before giving it to them???
Do you have quantities of how much you use? (Grains, legumes and even how much of each veggie) we are getting out first green cheek and want to make chop but don’t know where to start
Most ppls birds won't eat that, mine definitely wouldn't there very fussy fids but I was wasting so much vet till I happened across 1 tip that changed the whole game for my flock, steam and partly cook the rutt vegetables and brocoli and colliflower and chop them in , ..
You would really like the birdtricks cookbook then! Their seasonal feeding system is excellent, and the pellets that go along with the food are similar in quality to Tops. :)
The whole keeping fruit aside as a treat and ice cube container portioning is genius!!! Thank you lady!!

I've been really frustrated that my chop, especially of fruits and veggies, tends to be mushy like a smoothie. Now my baby's a little vitamin A deficient, so I got a vitamin supplement and am trying to introduce chopped carrots. Wish us luck lol
i recommend to hand cut the juicy watery veggies and put the other in the food proccesr
i got my lovebird like 3 days ago its kinda hard giving it fresh veggies and keep it away from to much seeds. atleast it likes dried fruits and veggies
Try not to be tough on yourself.
Vegetables are expensive and for those of us who can't get out and/ or afford to buy much it's difficult.
My first chop I got overly ambitious with the PULSE setting on my new food processor. I ended up with a slush ~ even though I used almost a full bag of carrots. I didn't add fruit.
Should have because I ate some to see if I should give it to my cockatiel.
She liked it the first day. I was thrilled.
Not so much the next day.
I was so happy and hopefull.
Happy because I figured out the food processor. Hopeful because my little cockatiel needs to regain her health.
It was an epic fail.
I'm going to try again.
I hope you do, too and that your parrot starts getting stronger soon. Thank-You.

Hi, great video! My cockatiel is new to chop. What is the best way to get eating chop as she has been on seeds all this time.
Thank you
Going to feed this to my budgies i am sure they will like it
Woah cool
Thank you!!! ☀️
I keep nuts aside as treats, although my bird enjoys a ‘bread’ made from nuts, seeds and grains. It does not have wheat or gluten or sugar in it. I have been using tiny bites of that ‘bread’ as treats. It works well as positive re-enforcement.
I watched this and I loved it and when I asked my mom too do it she said no cuz her last bird got sick from eating fresh food cuz of bacteria but you washed it realy good and my mom still says no all he eats is seeds and pellets I want him too have more variety and she’s only had one or two birds far apart in her life and she said that well he doesn’t chew on his road perches or he doesn’t even like the happy hut the only thing she agreed with was the dowl perches and the sand perches

Hi 👋 my opinion on it is that they should have pellets, just make sure it is an organic and complete pellet like Harrison’s 👍 since they can help with any lacking nutrients!
Seems like refrigerating the extra would be just as good as freezing it. Plus you don't have to deal with thawing.

I need ratios too please!

Thank you ".......
of course! thanks so much for watching! 💕
did you do anything else to the the spinach other than washing it?
I'm new to this do you cook the carrots or just the sweet potato
how many times a day do you feed them chop, and do you just give pellets while they arent eating it?
What brand or size of food processor should I get?
And where can I buy some?
Do you cook vegetables before putting it in a food processor
Also how many times should you feed your bird per day
Just a question: isn't the amount of naturally-occuring sugars in sweet potatoes and carrots and the like too much for parrots? I could be wrong, but I was just curious

Do you supplement with pellets or is chop the full meal?
I have, for the first time, birds. How often do you feed them your bird chop? I am just interested so i don't feed mine too much or not enough
Uhm I just got my bird children and I am planning to give them veggies since they are already able to eat hard meal, I just wanna ask what to do if the veggies chop from the freezer should I give them like that or should I let it soaked in warmwater so the ice melt before giving it to them???
Do you have quantities of how much you use? (Grains, legumes and even how much of each veggie) we are getting out first green cheek and want to make chop but don’t know where to start
Most ppls birds won't eat that, mine definitely wouldn't there very fussy fids but I was wasting so much vet till I happened across 1 tip that changed the whole game for my flock, steam and partly cook the rutt vegetables and brocoli and colliflower and chop them in , ..
Do you feed your birdchop or pellets and leave it in the cage for the bird to eat everyday?
Do you have to cook the quinoa or grains
So fruit should be giving like 2 days in a week or can it be giving like every mornings???
Fruits should only be an occasional treat (unless it's a Toucan, Lorikeet or other fruit-eating bird).
so im gonna get a parakeet and i have dogs and cats can you make a video on how to avoid dangers for my birds thanks
How long does it last in the freezer?
You would really like the birdtricks cookbook then! Their seasonal feeding system is excellent, and the pellets that go along with the food are similar in quality to Tops. :)
Do I have to steam the sweet potato and squash before adding them?
