The whole keeping fruit aside as a treat and ice cube container portioning is genius!!! Thank you lady!!
haha thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful! 😊
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.
thanks so much for watching! 😊
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
Same. My budgie HATES frozen food! 😂🦜
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 ❤️
girl! this is the best chop for birds video I've ever seen! :D
I see u everywhere! U really Like watching Bird vids😂
hehe thank you! ❤️
You’re so helpful! I really hope more people start finding your channel!
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
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 😊
Thank you for this video! I like to change up my birds chop every 6 months and you gave me some great ideas. Love the ice cube idea also.
I ordered the cage and all the stuff before I get my birds. You channel is extremely helpful! Thank you!
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 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your recipe for chop sems amazing! I live your videos ! Your so great your one of my favorite bird tubers !
thank YOU THIS REALLY HELPED
Hi ! I have two conures like you and they love their new food ! Thanks to you they are happier !❤👍
reaAAAlly helpful!
Very helpful. 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😍🥰
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.
Maby not calming but it answerd AL cuestions I had about freezing birdchop
this was very helpful. thank you!
Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you! The ice cube tray is smart, I'm gonna do that today
Loved this!
thanks so much for watching!
Thank you I love this 🥰
Brilliant thank you!
Thank you so much that was very helpful👍❤️
Thanks these videos are so good 👍
Woah cool
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!!
First comment ✌🏻🥰
Finally you made a video about birds chop
Sooo helpful
Haha yes! Thanks so much for watching and let me know what else you’d like to see! 😊
Your dog is so cute waiting for scraps. God love them ♥
Great :) You offer a really Nice and nutritious food to your buddies. That’s one of the information that I’ve been looking for :)
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.
Love the video ☺️ cute birds be cute doggy too 🤗 so sweet when he watching the birds 😍
Underrated.
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.
Love the dog!
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.
Omg that ice cube idea is so smart, I NEED TO DO THAT!!!
Yesss but then how u vive it to the birds? You out it in the microwave? Or let it defrost ?? Thanks if you know
Thank you very much this really helped me 💖😊
My gosh your birds are living a dream life with you as their provider. Well done... My birds are jealous. lol I'll make them some of this nice tasty chop. Thanks
Oh thank you for this video T_T I've been reading up on how to take care of my conure better and I saw so many people talking about "chop".
The ice cube container is a greet tip
Thanks
Cool recipe
I love this and your birds but full disclosure, I am totally in love with your dog! 🥰
I just went to food Lion and got all of the ingredients! I am makeing Buddy some chop today! ❤❤❤❤
😊I was also try my parrot is eating this everyday on the morning thanks for this video is helping my parrot to eat veggies and fruits ❤
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
Yay!:)
Nice my birds will also like it 👍
Girl, you’re so pretty and smart💅
Going to feed this to my budgies i am sure they will like it
Thank you ".......
of course! thanks so much for watching! 💕
Great video, Won! 😊 Admittedly I've been lazy with my chop and this video has inspired me!
Thank so much and so happy it inspired you! 🥰
@@FlyingFids omg lol I’m literally making some chop right now
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
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.
Dudeee, you birds eat better than i do! 😅
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
Please make a video on how to get your birds to be interested in chop!
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
I'm new to this do you cook the carrots or just the sweet potato
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'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.
💕.
@@dg.262 did you come up with a solution?
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
did you do anything else to the the spinach other than washing it?
Can I use this food for cockatiels as well?
Hi love your videos, do you have a recipe with exact amount of everything please!
I need ratios too please!
What processor or chopper do you use
Do you have to cook the quinoa or grains
omg i love you videos so much. I have learned a lot from you in such a short time. Also your 2 birds are so fucking cute
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
Seems like refrigerating the extra would be just as good as freezing it. Plus you don't have to deal with thawing.
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!
Do I have to steam the sweet potato and squash before adding them?
how many times a day do you feed them chop, and do you just give pellets while they arent eating it?
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
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
Hi!
What brand or size of food processor should I get?
And where can I buy some?
Is there a difference between a food processor and a blender?
Do you supplement with pellets or is chop the full meal?
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
Sorry total per day, as long as they have a healthy diet
Do you cook the sweet potato
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!
Do you feed your birdchop or pellets and leave it in the cage for the bird to eat everyday?
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
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?
Do you have to add the rice and like that or
would a blender work but stop it before it turns into a smoothie instead?
How often should I feed my bird cockatoo chop?
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 .
Oh, I didn't realize birds would eat thawed out frozen chop. That would save me from so much wastage. 😅
I absolutely agree. Dang, I've wasted so much. At least I do compost. :)
In the freezer how long does the chop lasts?
Time to get that food processor! Any suggestions?
how long can bird chop stay frozen in the freezer ? Great vid btw!!
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
@@FlyingFids ty!
ngl chop is a great idea for other animals.
Pretty sure my lizard would like it >>
just gotta find my processer somewhere....
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 , ..
does this work for lovebirds as well?
Is it ok if I leave it in the food bowl 🥣 or is it not ok?
