From April 2nd:
Half Quick Serve and half Mayan Gourmet Mash.
From the 3rd:
Half Mayan Gourmet Mash and the other half is a mixture of hemp seeds, chamomile flowers, and star anise.
From the 4th:
I think the purple stuff is either African Sunset or Bolivian Blast. I don’t actually remember, sorry. The other part is Harrison’s Adult Lifetime Fine and Totally Organic Pellets. I crushed up the Totally Organic Pellets for the parakeets because I love them. The side dish has puffed quinoa and hemp seeds.
This dish is also from the 4th so I guess it was dinner.
I’m almost 100% positive this is Bolivian Blast with Harrison’s on the side.
From the 5th:
Mayan Gourmet Mash with red palm oil.
From the 6th:
Okay so this is the African Sunset, not the purple stuff. I can tell by the big red berries that look so much like goldenberries. So that means the purple stuff was most likely Bolivian Blast. There is a possibility that it was Mango Medley but I don’t think so.
I did cook up a batch of Mango Medley for one of their recent meals but I don’t seem to have any pictures of it. The other stuff is a mix of Harrison’s, Totally Organic Pellets, and hemp seeds from Avian Organics. I will have to get another bag with my next order.
The stuff in their blue dishes is a mix of star anise, chamomile flowers, and flax seeds.
From the 8th:
Since this breakfast is from the 8th and I have no pictures from the 7th I think that must be the day I cooked the Mango Medley. This breakfast is half Bolivian Blast with red palm oil and the other half is a mixture of Bag O’ Bugs, Harrison’s, and hemp seeds.
Those are the most recent meals. I’m going to make something yummy for them this morning and will post pictures of that later.
I love Avian Organics food and so do my birds. I’m so happy I was able to catch that great sale on Bolivian Blast because it is one of my favorites.
I have a question. How often do you actually cook for your birds? Do you cook daily, or do you cook several meals every few days?
I cook breakfast for them every morning and usually I cook again for them in the afternoon/evening. Sometimes I am lazy and give them dry food but I try not to be lazy too often. I usually cook half a cup at a time in a small pot. Sometimes I end up cooking more and there is some left over for another meal. Also there are plenty of things they get that don’t need to be cooked but sometimes need to be chopped.
I used to cook larger batches and freeze them but then I tried eating frozen food that had been reheated and it didn’t taste nearly as good so I figured I was better off cooking fresh batches each time. My birds also prefer their cooked foods a little warm and it is easy to mix the red palm oil in when it is cooking. I keep the red palm oil in the fridge so it hardens and I need to melt it.
For mine, I usually cook enough that I can refrigerate, but not so much that I have to freeze it.
Oh! Another question. Actually two. With the red palm oil, the directions, at least on mine, say to give 1 teaspoon. How much do you add to things you cook? Also, if it’s hardened, can you just scoop some out and put it in the food before making it a liquid again?
I don’t measure at all. I keep it in the fridge and it hardens so I stab it with a knife a bunch of times and throw whatever comes out into the pot. I’m sure they get more than one teaspoon but they don’t eat it all.
