Easy Nutrition for our Parrots

I feed my birds a mix of fruits, grains and vegetables every day. Occasionally, I'll mix large batches of "mash" or "chop" ahead of time for freezing. If you aren't familiar with mash or chop, it's definitely worth reading about. For those of us who don't have time to prepare fresh foods every day, chop is an easy way to make sure your birds are getting the most from their diet.

The following page features a mash with quinoa that turned out really beautiful. Generally, foods with a lot of color and texture are more appealing to our birds. It's the same for us when we sit down at a fancy restaurant. A good chef knows exactly what they're doing when they prepare those gorgeous $100 plates ;)

The following site shows a video on how to prepare chop, and also explains how to sprout seeds and beans.

Bad parrot jokes with the Nelsons

Hey, do you wanna hear a joke?



This guy takes his parrot to the vet because it had been sick. So the vet says, "I have good news and I have bad news."



"The bad news is, your bird has chirpees. The good news is, it's tweetable."




Hehehe, it's 'tweetable'


Oh, brother

Blue quaker babies are here!

I have just started bringing the quaker babies in from the nest boxes. This first clutch is blue! These babies began hatching around the 19th of April. Here are the two oldest, at around 20 days old.
