I’m so glad I found you! Someone just gave me a Senegal. I know nothing about this bird. He is biting me in the cage. So I am going to follow your vids and hopefully live thru this. Lol.
I make it in the morning for a couple days worth. I eat a whole plant food diet so always have fresh vegetables and am preparing those for my meals every day. Everything you made is what I eat too! I’ll have to give it a go and batch cook some to have on hand. Thank you for sharing.
Good job, chop formulating is a craft that is so rewarding to master it, at first it had my brain in pain but it gets easier to understand with time. I don’t use pasta, just grain, raw quinoa has been a favorites for my bird. When your bird throws chop out of their bowl they can pick on the taste and more often than not that way they realize it feels and tastes good. Less cooked stuff is better because cooked stuff go bad quicker, you can sprout some legumes (stick to chickpea, garbanzo, pea, mung and adzuki beans, other beans can be toxic when sprouted and raw, you can do a lot with this few legumes), you can sprout many grains, you can feed some grains raw/soaked like quinoa and millet and wild rice (I always soak them), you can sprout and soak lentils. Always cook beans, never feed them raw. I personally think it is okay to give just a tiny percentage of cooked stuff as long as 85% of the chop is fresh and diverse, so they have the antioxidants to deal with the cooked ingredients in the first place. I do not feed pasta, some birds will fill up on it because it’s all yummy carbs.
Thank you so much for this channel. I just adopted a 20 year old female Senegal and your videos are making her transition into a new home so much easier for everyone. I'm definitely going to try this chop recipe and I know she'll most likely throw it all out of her bowl for a few days like Alfie did 🤣
I am so glad I watched your video.... I just got a parrot only last Saturday ... She bites me a lot.... She doesn't like my hands... and she hisses and shouts at me specifically if we are eating.. I feel like I am out my depth.... I am going to try all your suggestions in a few days. Just one question can you use can of beans or use a food processor for the chopping? Thanks and keep up the good work.
No canned foods due to preservatives etc best fresh 🥫 Give it time she doesn’t know or trust you yet so might just be uncomfortable/scared. Give it time and don’t try and do too much at first (like me) haha
@@parrotsco.3224 thanks for replying my question so quick.... I have done all you asked... I order some parrot food.... She's very inquisitive she flies to my shoulders and watches all I do... But if I put my hand close to her she will try to bite... For the moment I will let her fly around to know the place without me trying to touch her. Thanks for the tips and if you think I should do anything different let me know.
Hi, Thank you so much for explaining this chop. I had the same problem with it being mushy so i also chop by hand. I noticed you dont use the seeds from the peppers, are they bad for senegals, I've been feeding kiwi the seeds sprinkled on top of the chop. Is your butternut squash cooked? Thank you again x
My lovebirds are crazy picky eaters! They dive into the chop only to pick out their favorite bits, such as rice bits or almond bits, otherwise they will turn their heads away!
Pour on some Italian vinaigrette dressing and you've got a nice salad lol. Sometimes I make my lunch and my bird's food at the same time whether I'm having a salad or a vegetable stir fry lol. 😂
How do you get them into it? I adopted mine and they hate any chop. I tried different recipes all fresh organic and cleaned. They don’t like broccoli spinach apples w/no seed of course. They don’t like carrots or rices Quinoa too
No carrots? my lorikeet LOVES carrot chop - well she loves making carrot chop, doesn't really eat it, just turns 3-5 carrots a day into a huge pile of chop at the bottom of that cage that I'm not allowed to touch. I'm watching this for more ideas of what to try for her, haven't tried pumpkin, might give that a go :) both mine HATE peppers & also cabbage, so not sure if they'd eat the brussel sprouts if they hate cabbage so much would they?
You can strain it if it’s really watery and grind up flaxseed (also called linseed) in a clean coffee grinder really good for them and gives it a nutty flavour that birds love
Same. I cannot freeze or else it turns into a mush after thawing & I wasted an entire batch so I chop weekly now seems to work the best for my birds they HATE wet/mash. Gotta have that crunch 😂
My man 😅 African Parrots eats a toooon of legumes, lentils and beans in the wild, including garbonzo beans that have farmed there for many hundreds of years 🙈 also, I would skip the pasta, I know it's healthier than regular white pasta made with flour, but it's still a processed product. Sprouted seeds and beans are way better for your parrot than any kind of pasta, and most parrots go bananas for them
WATCH EARTHLINGS IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER, TRUST ME!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL SEE HOW HOW IT REALLY IS AND WILL HOPEFULLT CHANGE THE WAY YOU EAT.
THAT CHOP LOOKS DELICIOUS TO EAT!!!!!!!!! FOR US PLANT BASED IS THE WAY TO GO NOT EATING ALL THAT DISGUSTING, JUNKY, PROCESSED, NASTY, ETC FOOD (MEAT, DAIRT, EGGS,)... EATING ANIMALS IS NOT FOOD IT IS CRUELTY, MURDER, ILLNESS AND CERTAIN DEATH!!!!!!!!!
Strictly speaking in terms of evolution, we were born to enjoy both plants and animals. Our teeth are designed to do both! That is a fact, my earthling friend, not an opinion. Look at the teeth of planteaters and the teeth of meat eaters, they are both designed for a specific purpose. Your biased opinion that animals are not food is incorrect. However, I will agree that processed food has no place in our homes or bellies. Carry on my wayward son.........

You know you have done bird chop really well when you would be willing to try it yourself

Hahah true!

Grazie per questo video. Molto utile, sicuramente lo preparerò anche io per i miei pappagalli. Ho stampato anche la tua guida😍
Thanks from Italy
Grazie! Besos y amor!
My bird loves it! I’m a bit crazy and ate some myself.
Yasss 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
You didn't tell how many times a day you can offer this. Is this only for breakfast or I can give this to my cocateil through out the day many times.

Another great video, well done.

Sometimes when I make Bird chop it looks so good that wouldn't mind eating,😅
I do , big chuck for me , small cop for them.
Pour on some Italian vinaigrette dressing and you've got a nice salad lol. Sometimes I make my lunch and my bird's food at the same time whether I'm having a salad or a vegetable stir fry lol. 😂
😆😆😆
I do eat some of mine.
Good with Cottage cheese
How do you get them into it? I adopted mine and they hate any chop. I tried different recipes all fresh organic and cleaned. They don’t like broccoli spinach apples w/no seed of course. They don’t like carrots or rices
Quinoa too
Need to give a small amount first thing in morning with no other food around. They will eat it.
Great video!
Yasss! 👏🏽
No carrots? my lorikeet LOVES carrot chop - well she loves making carrot chop, doesn't really eat it, just turns 3-5 carrots a day into a huge pile of chop at the bottom of that cage that I'm not allowed to touch.

Thanks bro you know alot you’l evantualy get alot of subs
Thanks John! 🙏🏽
How do u defrost it so it's not so watery?
You can strain it if it’s really watery and grind up flaxseed (also called linseed) in a clean coffee grinder really good for them and gives it a nutty flavour that birds love
Would this be suitable for budgies?
Do I need to worry about veggies high in oxalates?
You know you can use the seeds from the bell pepper in the chop right?
How much does he get per day?
just stumble on your channel. thank you so much for the ebook!
Welcome to the #birdgang
Can u tell me where the list of INGREDIENTS are please ty
Would this chop be appropriate for a budgie? Help...having a hard time deciding what to feed them
Yes!! Smaller budgie sized bites and healthy pellets 🖖🏽🦜
@@parrotsco.3224 Oh thank you so so much
Thank you I really appreciate this info and the free download
🤘🏽🔥 🦜
When I make it . They get running belly. Water poop. Why?
Lord, this is a seminar 😅
I have a question on how do you keep it fresh until over a month & not soggy ? . mine seems to be fussy about texure , i have to make it each week
Same. I cannot freeze or else it turns into a mush after thawing & I wasted an entire batch so I chop weekly now seems to work the best for my birds they HATE wet/mash. Gotta have that crunch 😂
How to afford that is the question
You know you love your birds when they eat even better than you! Lol
Can I give my GCC TUNA?
My Hahns Macaw don't eat vegetables...
😯

My sunconure doesn't like fruits and vegetables nor she like treats
😯😯😯
I have 12 small parrot species birds
I bet you dont do this anymore. So time consuming. Im planning on using a food processor
Yes food processors are life savers
I would eat that. Lol
