Christas Parrot Information

These recipes are great to make a head and freeze. Just take out what you need the night before.

I have birds ranging in size from budgie to African Grey. These will work for all of them.

Remember: Even if you just do one little thing better or extra for your feathered friends a week that is good!

Ash’s Mash

In one/half cup measure put half quinoa and half 10 grain
cereal. Put 3 times the water in. So 1 and 1/2 cups. Bring to a boil
and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
When done cooking, add 2 TBS of peanut butter. Then add some whole
wheat germ flakes or flakes of the grain of your choice .
Then add half a cup ground veggies or fruit of your choice. Stir
well and give to birds. This made enough for my for birds for 2 or
3 days.

I have also used millet instead of quinoa, whatever flakes are available at the store- oat, wheat, barley, and 7,8, or 10 grain cereal based on what is in it and if it is fresh

Ash’s Favorite Bran Muffins by Christa

2 cups organic bran muffin mix
1 whole egg
1 Tbsp. Oil
1 cup juice of your choice (I use orange)
1 6 oz. jar of fruit mix baby food
½ cup pellet dust or ground pellets

You can also add handfuls or sprinkles of:
Quinoa, raisins, flax seed, ground brazil nuts, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 – 30 minutes. Check for doneness using a knife, toothpick or wooden skewer.

If it comes out clean, the muffins are done. These muffins will turn out very thick.

Ash’s Favorite Cornbread Muffins by Christa

2 cups organic cornbread mix
1 whole egg
1 cup orange juice
¼ cup water
2 Tbsp. Oil
½ cup corn pieces
½ cup pellet powder
½ cup whole pellets
2 handfuls of flake type cereal
1 mashed ripe banana
Add a dash of each of the following: allspice, cinnamon, basil and garlic powder
Add 2 dashes of chili powder.

This recipe will fill up the muffin cups. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top and bake at 400 degrees for 30 – 40 minutes or until golden brown.

Storing either type of muffin: Muffins may be frozen, just make sure that they have cooled completely.

After thawing, muffins may be microwaved for a few seconds.
