A crunchy & chewy blend of seeds and treats for parrots. Pre-cut it into convenient sizes and use for a quick meal when you are in a hurry!
Ingredients:
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325′ F. Lightly grease a 9 x 9 (or smaller) pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: oats, seeds, cereal, peanuts, flour, baking soda, and brown sugar. Mix well, then add the oil, honey, and water.
3. Scoop mixture into the pan and use a sheet of waxed paper to press down into a uniform layer about 3/4 inch thick. Use aluminum foil to build a barrier- but the mixture should not spread.
4. Bake for about 15 minutes. Let cool, and cut into meal-sized squares.
5. You can feed them warm, or store them in your refrigerator or freezer and use when needed. To re-heat, thaw them out, or place in the microwave for approximately 15 seconds. Make sure to check for hot spots when re-heating.
A super easy and nutritous seasonal treat!
1. Select a small, round pumpkin- not one of the decorative saucer-shaped pumpkins.
2. Preheat oven to 350′ F.
3. Rinse and scrub the outside, and pat dry. Cut the pumpkin in half, and place cut side down in a glass pan or a foil-lined baking pan. Choose something with tall sides as you want to have a 1/4″ of water in the pan while cooking.
4. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. Insides should be soft and tender.
5. Let cool and cut into chunks appropriately sized for your bird, or give them a half and let them play and eat!
A super simple and versatile home-made treat for all parrots! It is also a perfect recipe to sneak in those vitamins!
Ingredients:
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350′ F.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients: seeds, pellets, flour, water, honey, and vitamins. If the dough is too dry, add small amounts of water.
3. Grab a handful of uncooked pasta shells to fill- mezzi riggitoni and medium shells work well!
4. After mixing the dough thoroughly, put it into a ziplock bag, and cut the corner off a bottom end so you can pipe the dough into the pasta pieces, or into shapes on a parchment-lined baking pan.
Alternate: Roll the dough into balls about the size of a dime or penny. If you want treats to hang, flatten the balls into disks and use a straw to punch holes into the center.
5. Bake items for 10 minutes, cool, and serve!
