"Chop" refers to a finely chopped mix of cooked and uncooked food such as grains, legumes and vegetables that you can feed your birds. The mix allows you to incorporate a diverse array of nutritious ingredients into your bird's daily diet.
Chop can be frozen and thawed overnight to be ready to be fed in the morning. Some birds may prefer their chop to be warmed up in the microwave for a few seconds while others eat it cold.

That lovebird is probably the most gorgeous lovebird I've ever seen.
"Hi, my name is Donna and this is my lovebird Sprinkles"
Sprinkles looks at the camera and tilts his head like "Yeah, it's me!"
That was too perfect and adorable!
I want to be your bird right now because u make delicious food
Everyday I must see your video because I cannot live without seeing and hearing your birds and ur voice
If I come back after death; I want to be one of her birds. Great food.
you always have great info and you are just such a sweet person i’m glad i found your channel
Same I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Thank you for showing me how to make xhop. I tried it once and it came out a liquidy mess. Now I know why. My birds eat fresh veggies every day. By the way, you are looking really great in this video!
Hi Donna! I just love watching your videos and seeing your lovely pet birds. I’m learning so much from your pet bird channel and also love your bird room set up. You have a lot of patience, wisdom, and creativity. I look forward to watching ALL your videos!
Hi. I am happy you enjoy my videos. Thanks for your support 😀
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
That chop looks good.
Dang, this is like... Good enough for people. I'd eat that 😂
Yeah totally 👌
Me too haha!
I have eaten chop so many time 😂. It’s just missing lemon juice and salt. Give a try.
Gosh your birds eat better than i do!
Same 😂😂😂
I am ready to move in. LOl
As I watched this video (I am a middle aged man BTW) I started to see the delicious almighty chop from the point of view of one of the pet birds, 🐦 (lol) , instead of a pet owner which I am (planning to add a parrot to my dog, cat and aquarium fish), and suddenly I felt a deep sense of gratitude on the behalf of all the birds to OP alias Parrot Mama 😘
Even as a non-parrot I think that chop is a more balanced diet than what I eat 😂😂
Hi. This is pure greatness. What a beautiful video trust me it makes me happy seeing how much love Donna has for her pets. This is amazing & I'm sure your birds enjoy their chop. I like seeing your budgies enjoying their chop dish!!! Standing ovation for you. Donna, you, Sprinkles & your birds all look beautiful. Much respect this video definitely got my like.
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this video ❤! I have been feeding my parrot seeds for years and some people food from time to time. Also did not know they could not have salt . This video is a great eye opener! I will be feeding the things you suggested in your chop recipe today! So grateful for this Information . 😊😊😊❤
thank you for the video!!!! its grocery shopping day too I'm so excited to try this out for my babies
Just found this videoand the chop looks great. Thanks for sharing it.
Our pleasure!
What a wonderful, healthy chop - looks so good - would make a tasty and healthy salad for humans too!🐤🐦🌞
This is so good.Thank you.
I love my discovery of cutting down the veggies on a towel and pressing out all the extra liquid so it isn't goopy soup. No matter how much I do that I cannot get much liquid out of peppers so those I drain in a mesh strainer and press.
Thanks for sharing, It's the best so far I watched for today.
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
Great video! Thank you so much for showing how to make bird chop,my birds will be happy when I feed them this!
Another great video! I think half the fun of keeping birds is cooking for them!!! I add fresh herbs too, like basil, mint, coriander etc. Also smashed up hard boiled eggs with the shells.
Fresh Herbs are a wonderful addition to chop. My birds loves herbs especially Basil
Love it. I only have 2 birds, an eclectus and a cockatiel. I only make a small batch so I don't even need to freeze it. I give my eclectus fresh chop twice daily, and my cockatiel (prefers his seeds) only gets it once a day. It usually doesn't last more than 4-5 days so it stays fresh in the fridge.
Thank you for this,i was wondering how long it stays fresh!
Hello, I have been looking for this information for so long in all videos but no one tells how many times to offer this chop to the birds. Just adopted a female cocateil and she does not like much of the vegetables. I am so confused on what to feed her as most of the videos tell that millets and seeds are to be given sparingly and we do not get pellets in my country. It will be very kind of you if you could share your birds diet with me. Thanks
Wish i would chop all that up by hand lol food processor is on the list getting two cockatiels soon and this was an eye opener
Yes! Ty so much. I tried this today and it worked. My parakeet loves to eat some chop.... I didn’t do all of it yet - but I did mix Vegis with his seeds and he’s starting to eat it. B4 I never chopped and he would just throw them out of the dish.
Thanks for sharing! I love chop videos😋 looks like the birds loved it😍
Honestly this is the best video I’ve seen ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for sharing everything in details
It was so helpful ☺️
Thank you
My sister told me about your channel and I LOVE IT!!! you have the best information for my budgies and Ben for my dream pets! Thank you for this!
Love your videos Donna
Such a fantastic video! Thank you so much - looking forward to making this tonight
This is why she’s the queen 👑 🦜
Thank you, I think my birds are going to love it. I hope to try it out!
Wow, I am really loving your videos!!! Thank you ! I’m learning so much !
I love this video. You are so helpful. I love all of your videos !
you are better then my mum used to be at cooking...lucky birds:)
Thanks for showing me the best way to cut up a bell pepper!
Thank you so much for the great info. A long time ago when I had parakeets I fed them chopped parsley, and I used to make a birdy cornbread w pumpkin for my breeding lovebirds. I had a nanday for 26 years and she would have loved your chop. I'm hoping to get a couple of linnies and I will definitely use your recipe. Thank you. 💙
Thank you
You're welcome
I have two kakariki’s and I’m trying to explore there options for food because i bought them from Craigslist and the lady seemed to only feed them seeds, since I’ve had them they seemed to love the fruits and vegetables I give them so a chop would be great for me to try and make them
good ty
I really enjoyed this video thanks a lot for being so helpful
great video as always Donna
Thank you 😀
So close to 100k
Thank you!
Great video! It looks so good!
I accidentally ate chop by accident once and thought oh shit this is delicious!
I frequently add it to my Mac n cheese
Very informative. I dont have any fether friends yet but will defantaly try and remember this for if I ever can. Never would had thought of useing rice or beens. Looks fun. I enjoyd making grain and seed mixes for my chinchilla and bunny when I had them. I didint need to chop up veggies too much as they were bigger animals. Just "give them to me!" XD *sigh* I miss thoes bunny grunts and chinchilla squeeks.
Hi love your videos. I am going to make this chop. I have 1 cockatiel, 1 budgies and one society finch. The only one I do not let out of the cage is the society finch. do you think I should be letting her out? I do not see many videos about finches.
Hi, glad you are enjoying my videos. I would let the society finch out if I had one. I have a have finch and she is out everyday. I used to have zebra finches and a few other finches and I let them out. They are smart and knew when it was time to go back in. I would put a piece of spray millet in the cage and they would go in when I said it's bedtime. I hope your birds will enjoy the chop.
Great video and thank you. I am very much more educated on how to feed my bird and I am going to try the things you have described. I am very interested in discovering whether my parakeet will eat vegetables etc because he certainly is not fussed on fruit and I've been advised countless times that fruit is a big deal. I'll let you know 🙂
Great video, thanks for the info :)
This is amazing, I’ll definitely have to try it!
How long does this recipe last?
It lasts me about one week but I have 29 birds that eat it.
How would you handle adding snap peas to chop? My budgies love snap peas. Maybe just chop them by hand? Funny enough, they like the outer shell more than the peas themselves.
Yummy indeed! Knowing this combo can be stored in the freezer makes a big difference.
I want to store it in the freezer like you. What portion size do you recommend for three budgies?
Hi. I recommend you try 1/4 cup.
Once it's thawed it's okay for three days.
Thanks!
I had a cockatiel named Nugget sadly she passed away a few days ago :'(
So sorry for your loss 😓
Hi. Thanks for this video! I have a question. I have One lorikeet, two cockatiel and One kakariki. I want to prepare this for all my birds. Pepper seeds are fine for Rainbow lorikeet?
Hi yes Lorikeets can eat them
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
If they don’t eat the chop how long do you wait before you throw it out? My budgie will not eat veggies or take a bath I’ve watched every youtube method and nothing works it’s very frustrating. Can you buy all the topper seeds at the grocery store if so where are they located. Thank you
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
How long should we keep the food in tray for them since it’s chop?
I can tell you’re a DC fan haha
Ive seen people also add dried hers, flowers, and/or roots. Have you tried it? If so, any recommendations?
Hi, yes I feed my birds dries herbs and flowers. I will be making a video soon.
Do you mind giving me tips as to how i can make my cockatiels and lovebirds eat their chops? i made it once but they didnt eat it
You gotta just keep trying. Only give a small amount each day. If they still don't eat it consider not free feeding or taking their pellet or dry food mix out of the cage at night and feed chop in the morning if they don't eat it in an hour or two take it out and put their regular food back in try everymorning for a week or so and I bet hill eat it
I store my chops in plastic boxes. Where is the best pkace to keep them? Freezer? Shelves?
Great video by the way my cockatiels and budgies love it
Do all these breeds live freely amongst each other?
All the small birds are loose together in their bird room.
The larger birds are in the living room. My King Parrot, Superb Parrot and Plum-Headed Parakeet are out together.
Hi what food processor do you use? I can't seem to find a good one. Thank you!
What about defrosting the chop, will it still be dry inside the bag?
Once the chop is defrosted, it will be wet. I put it in a strainer to drain the wetness, I then add rolled oats, hemp hearts etc to help soak up the wetness.
I have very important question, what veggies do you cook, I mean which ones do HAVE TO be cooked? Hellp0
Hi, sweet potatoes, squash, legumes, and rice should be cooked. All the other veggies serve raw.
Thank you so much 💓
Hi, all your videos are great! Thank you for you work! 😊 We share the same love for birds.
I have a little question for you. I usually defrost the chop putting it from the freezer to refrigerator in the night. 10 hours later when I wake up, I don't want to serve the chop too cold to my birds so I microwave that for 20 seconds. Is it ok or do you suggest better way to defrost and serve to my cockatiels? I don't like the way vegetables appears after microwave. Thank you
Hi, I have the same problem with the chop being cold. What I do now is I take it out in the morning for the next day and it's not so cold.
Also I have put the chop into bowls and let it get room temperature for 20 minutes or so and then serve it.
Love of Pets... Can you please help me? I have a 20 yr old Cockatiel. I am his third owner. I give him Higgins Safflower seeds. And twice a week sweet potato or broccoli. The reason.. he gets diahrea. I brought him to the vet today and he said ... 10 minutes seeds morning. Then put out pellets and chop. I have tried this in the past. He will starve himself because he refuses to eat pellets? How can I convert him, without him getting diahrea?
Can you please break this recipe down for 2 budgies that are beginners. Thank you for your video
Hi Donna :) I’m planning on getting a bird (it’s my first time). I live with my parents and they’re fine with the idea but I don’t want to give them a reason to regret it. I have a good amount of free time but I’d like a bird that’s not too loud but I can be friendly and calm with. Do you have any ideas? Also Sprinkles is really cute, thanks for your videos :)
A female cockatiel is not too loud. Males can be very loud. Cockatiel can be very friendly.
I have a hard time getting my birds to eat chop or sprouts..everytime I've tried it just went to waste. How can I get them to eat something other than just seeds? I have 6 parakeets and 1 conure
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
Hi Donna it Denise how much do you know about cockatiel I could do with a bit of help if possible
Hi, what would you like to ask? I have 4 Co Cockatiels
@@Loveofpets what can you tell me about especially females
Females are more quiet then males. They can have reproductive issues.
I tried feeding my budgies mixed vegetables, but what to do with a messy beak and feathers around it? Do they clean themselves?
Hi, they will clean themselves. They wipe their beak on perches.
@@Loveofpets wow, thanks for the reply. I have month old baby budgies and the day ended with them having vegetables stains on their beaks so I cleaned them using cotton buds. Should I just offer a bathing option and perch and let them be?
I never knew peppers had guts
can budgies eat this?
Yes, all birds can eat it.
Don’t you need to partially cook the kale and spinach before feeding it to remove the oxalate?
How long can we store the chop in our fridge ? Some one plz reply
Hi, three days is good.
@@Loveofpets thanks for reply! I only have a bird
Idk if you will see this, but how much chop do I give my 3 parakeets at a time?
Hi, start with 3 tablespoons. If they eat it all increase the amount. If they don't eat it then decrease it.
I’m getting a cockatiel in a few months and I was wondering if I have to change the chop recipe with different foods every day or should I give it the same type recipe
Does the broccoli need to be cooked
Hi. Feed Broccoli raw. No need to cook it
How much chop should I feed my green-cheek conure
Hi, 1 or 2 tablespoons, however sometimes they can eat more.
How do you keep it from getting mushy?
Also, try adding corn 🌽, green beans, and okra as well.
What it is called your chopper?
Hi, my chopper is a Cuisinart.
What's best? Food processor or chopper?
Hi, I used to only use a chopper and then I got a food processor and it changed my life. If was like driving a top of the line Mercedes, lol. I love the food processor as it can chop, shred and slice and has many speeds and more.
I could not believe the difference a good processor would make so I recommend a good processor
@@Loveofpets thank you so much. I recently got 3 budgies and I'm trying to get them used to chop. FYI: I love your videos, keep it up ♥️🐦
My bird has a hard time with chop. I tried everything for 1 year now.
For how long can the chop stay in the freezer?
The shorter the time the better but it can be stored for 4 months and sometimes 6. Take all the air out of the bag.
@@Loveofpets Thank you for the reply! I’m getting two green cheeks on Saturday and your videos help out a bunch
You must be excited! Have fun with your new birds 😃
Must mention that it's important to give caged birds fruits and vegetables in place of some of there seed for their health because they can't fly off the weight of the fattening seeds.
I have heard it said not to feed celery to my 2 cockatiels!?
You can feed celery but it has little nutrional value. It's best to feed more nutrional value foods and add celery as a treat.
How do u get them to eat it?
Would you please be willing to give me some advice. I am getting a baby lovebird soon. I bough a Hagan Large short cage but I'm worried now after more research that it really isnt deep enough for an active love bird. Could you please tell me an ideal cage or two specifically for them? I also have a baby parrotlet that I was going to put in an identical hagan cage and a parakeet in a hagan medium that I am also thinking is too narrow. Thank you so much!!
Hi, this is my favorite cage
amzn.to/2SCph62 It's very roomy for lots of toys, perches, swings, and food and water bowls.
The bigger the better is always best. Or this one amzn.to/2SYy54T the bars are a bit flimsy on this cage, it should be okay for a small bird but not big birds with big beaks
How long would something like this keep in the fridge for? And is it safe leaving it out all day?
It may last three days but it's best to freeze it if it won't be consumed by then . It's best to take it out after a few hours . Most birds will eat it right away
Where do you get the seeds?
hi, do we have to put the chop in the freezer? or can we just feed them when the chop is done?
Hi, you can take enough chop to last three days in the fridge and out the rest in the freezer. Every night I take out a bag to let it defrost overnight and be ready in the morning.b
29 birds!!! WOW I have 1 bird and still so messy!!.. how do you clean!
Can anyone tell me how often can we serve the same batch of chop in a week?
Peppers is a generalized answer to toxic foods, are green/red peppers okay? Luv you
Yes they are okay for birds to eat.
Hey hun, I had a quick question for you that maybe you can help me with. I rescued two make Budgies a few years ago. In the last few months one of the males bonded with my female. Yesterday I found the male had passed away (I knew they were older when I took them) leaving my poor female without her mate and she has eggs. What should I do? I'm so worried for my girl.
Sorry about your budgie. Are the eggs fertile? If they are fertile the female will try to raise them herself but you may have to handfeed the babies if she does not feed them as it's a lot of work for her to do herself.
@@Loveofpets I candled them and two out of the five were. I currently have them in a incubator, I didn't want to risk my girls health and will hand raise the chicks. I have two males (one older that came in with the male who passed) one older and one younger who is a rescue with a broken and fused leg. I don't know if I should leave her with the males (the older male courts the younger male)?
i was wondering if frozen berries are ok to feed... we humans love to eat frozen ( but thawed) blueberries, cherries, mango and blackberries and were wondering if that would be ok for our birds too. Sometimes these berries are not in season so not always available fresh. (only feeding them fruits a couple times a week )
Yes you can use frozen as long as they are defrosted. I have seen a Cockatoo that loved frozen blue berries 😀
@@Loveofpets TY
how often should you feed budgies this. And how much for each bird?
This is the problem I always have I get these recipes but I never know what portion to feed my one bird
i have a rescue i saved 3 weeks ago, he won't eat any veggies. I am trying every day though. No chop. i tried that. Not even romaine cucumbers, carrots, or broccoli hanging up in the cage. Doesn't know what they are i think.
Keep trying. 3 weeks is a short time. He is getting used to the new environment. Sometimes it can take months before they eat the fresh food. Offer the fresh food in the morning. Remove seeds the night before. Limit seeds. Avoid hanging spray millet or seed sticks in the cage as thats all they will eat and may not want to eat fresh foods. Sprinkle a bit of seed on the fresh foods to entice him to eat
Do you know how much does it cost to trims your birds beak??
The cost would depend on your area and where you take your bird. You could go to a bird groomer or avian vet. Where I am avian vets would need to exam your bird first so there is an examination fee and usually the examination fee includes beak trimming and nail trimming. My vet charges $100.00. Bird groomers may be cheaper.
If your bird has a beak where it needs constant trimming the vet may charge less if you go often but generally the first visit they need to be examined. Google avian vets and bird groomers in your area and ask their fee.
How long it last the chop? One month or so? Thanks
Hi, I use one bag a day. I had 9 bags so 9 days. It will last longer if I put a smaller amount in the bags or had less birds. I usually put enough in each bag for the amount of birds that I have so if you have half the amount of birds that I have and you put 1.5 cups in a bag it will last 18 days. Make sure to freeze it as it can only last around three days in the fridge.
