How to make chop for your birds and one of my chop receipe

In this video I show you how to make chop and share one of my recipes.
#Loveofpets
"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.
Foods that are toxic
Avocado
Salty foods
Chocolate
Fruit pits
Apple seeds
Onions and garlic
Caffeine
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Leaves-stems-vines from the nightshade family (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant)
Rhubarb leaves
Raw - dry beans
Peanuts (tree nuts are okay in moderation)
Xylitol
👉 Always research the food that you are feeding your birds.

[@pamluh]

Dang, this is like... Good enough for people. I'd eat that 😂

[@luciakiwi2681]

Yeah totally 👌

[@baller5949]

Me too haha!

[@laviri]

I have eaten chop so many time 😂. It’s just missing lemon juice and salt. Give a try.

[@swissamerican1138]

Straight to the point right away! It's wonderful that we don't have to sit through 20-30 minutes before we learn what we came here for. I appreciate the content of this channel so much!

[@milliemcmullin1370]

Cook Rice and beans then cool and save for later, wash everything and cut up in small pieces. 10 Brussel sprouts, 6 carrots, 8 kale leaves, mix, 4 broccoli heads, mix, 4 celery sticks (pull off strings by knife), mix, 2 zucchini (peel, knife), mix, 2 bell peppers 1 red 1 orange (by knife only edges and seeds), mix, then add rice and beans 1/3 cup sesame seeds 1/3 cup chia seeds 1/3 cup hemp hearts, mix GOOD, store, no air, then freeze, then one in the fridge to thaw, then you can add greens

[@Indusxstan]

Thank you!

[@ashleyhodson1228]

How much of the rice and beans?

[@blendedfortune175]

“The little handle thing” she is so precious 🥺🥺

[@antoniakogut6664]

I came to comment to see if anyone else caught on to that

[@sherrigodbey9244]

So you caught that too?! I laughed out loud although I’m by myself and had to exclaim , “It’s a stem!!” I think Donna is a precious and genuine lady. Watching her videos is nearly like being invited into her home and getting personalized instructions on bird care.

[@FeatheredFlock]

That lovebird is probably the most gorgeous lovebird I've ever seen.

[@ashleyrajub5199]

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

[@paulorr9262]

If I come back after death; I want to be one of her birds. Great food.

[@annastink]

you always have great info and you are just such a sweet person i’m glad i found your channel

[@malcolmmartin1227]

Same I LOVE THIS CHANNEL

[@chrish564]

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.

[@reneegarcia9661]

Also Donna your birds are beautiful

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you

[@jasonpurcellau]

Gosh your birds eat better than i do!

[@milliewayz3327]

Same 😂😂😂

[@paulorr9262]

I am ready to move in. LOl

[@jeannehenry6315]

Enjoyed seeing your bird room. Thanks for all the good info.

[@Loveofpets]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DRoche911]

I just was given a green cheek - I wonder if he’s lonely. You have so many birds.

[@megsutube1815]

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!

[@sherrigodbey9244]

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!

[@Loveofpets]

Hi. I am happy you enjoy my videos. Thanks for your support 😀

[@hurstjames6199]

Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?

[@arsh.k3300]

Omg thank you! My budgies are very picky eaters. From what I have observed the younger budgies only want to eat seeds and millet but the older ones love greens

[@melissahiltz7491]

I would like to say a huge thank you to you for sharing this recipe! My featherbaby conure has been mainly seed fed and she absolutely LOVES this chop! I cannot thank you enough for this easy to follow video tutorial! I see you love your feather babies as much as I love mine! I had to substitute the rice and omitted the zucchini but she’s lovin it!!!!!!!! Thank you a again!!

[@Loveofpets]

Your welcome! So happy your conure enjoys the chop 😀

[@Indusxstan]

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 😂😂

[@ParrotTown]

Great video 👏👏💖 can never get enough good recipes. Hope you’re planning on doing a whole recipe series 💖🥦🦜 I think this may be my favorite of all your vids😉👍

[@Aldengibbsacdal3985]

Thanks for the info i understand it very well coz you have a clear english pronuncition ...more topic pls god blessed

[@danif7757]

Your chop looks awesome. My issue has been making chop for just 1 budgie. Even a small amount of veggies makes so much chop. More than 1 budgie needs lol I've been freezing it in ice cube trays to make a single little serving and then move those into a ziplock, which I learned from Sophie (Bird Nerd Sophie)

[@annekap.1656]

Just found this videoand the chop looks great. Thanks for sharing it.

[@Loveofpets]

Our pleasure!

[@mozboy76]

Love your videos Donna

[@archiesflock7517]

Great video! It looks so good!

[@AhmedAbd-dm8wy]

I really enjoyed this video thanks a lot for being so helpful

[@D0gclair3]

I love this video. You are so helpful. I love all of your videos !

[@vanissaberg5824]

It took some time but now my budgies love their chop! Making sure you pat everything as dry as possible is key to a nice crunchy chop that doesn't turn into mush. I also mix in a few spices and herbs from the spice cabinet as well as some rolled oats and seeds that helps soak up more moisture. I feed it to them frozen first thing in the morning after bringing them out of their cage and it thaws at room temperature. It doesn't seem to go sour as quickly when I feed it this way. They sure love their carrots and get carrot juice all over their faces lol.

[@justbirbvideos1701]

Thanks for sharing! I love chop videos😋 looks like the birds loved it😍

[@procdoctor9427]

Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?

[@joyavenzant5086]

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

[@May3529]

this was really helpful thank you so much! I only have one cockatiel (2nd one is coming this summer) but I want to teach him to eat fresh foods

[@cindybrook0520]

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. 💙

[@felicias9265]

Always love to watch your videos. All your beautiful birds😍 I have budgies and they LOOOVE their chops❤️❣️

[@kitaro9336]

This is why she’s the queen 👑 🦜

[@auurada2138]

You had me at "little handle thing"

[@dmswan3172]

[@melteague117]

Thanks for showing me the best way to cut up a bell pepper!

[@topchick2108]

you are better then my mum used to be at cooking...lucky birds:)

[@DaBearz80]

I was looking for something like this to make for my Sulphur Crested Cockatoo "Chicken" to eat because she's a picky eater! She does love mashed up veggies though! Can't wait to try this recipe with her! Thank you DONNA and Sprinkles!

[@jase123111]

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.

[@Loveofpets]

Fresh Herbs are a wonderful addition to chop. My birds loves herbs especially Basil

[@bettelovelace4456]

Hi sweetie...Thank you so much for sharing this video.. didn’t realize so many different things could go in and then freeze 🤪.. so much easier and nutritious ..can’t wait to try on my babies💜💜

[@mervibenyamin319]

Honestly this is the best video I’ve seen ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for sharing everything in details It was so helpful ☺️

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you

[@MrAdam-dh6kx]

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.

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you 😊

[@sharonkbutz3754]

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 . 😊😊😊❤

[@argenamcadoo]

Thank you

[@Loveofpets]

You're welcome

[@barbnbirds]

Hello Donna that is a meal fit for a king and Queen and making me hungry.I am going to try and do that for my bird.I never knew I could give my bird red bell pepper plus the seeds wow !!!!! I wish you were marketing your chop. Wonderful video as always , thanks!

[@donajoy9857]

[@helens3230]

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.

[@loveyourparrot_]

I'm ready to eat, I will be right over! YUM

[@Loveofpets]

I will save you some 😄

[@gabrielmartinez-wi8bu]

❤️

[@andilenny]

Mam, i have searched the menu for bird chop food, and how to do it, your video is the most clear explanation of any video i found. Thankyou so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@Loveofpets]

Your welcome 😀

[@lear0612]

Your flock is beautiful

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you 😊

[@stephaniegerbrandt6977]

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I just made my birds the same chop and they finally love chop! I also love the idea of them all eating from the same big tray!

[@Loveofpets]

Your welcome! Glad your birds loved it, makes me happy!

[@patriciaelg1464]

Enjoyed your video. Wow, your birds are beautiful. I will try adding the beans and lentils. Right now my 2 budgies are just learning to eat chop. I will try withholding their seeds and pellets when I give them the chop. Thank you.

[@agustd_minyoongi7790]

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

[@michellesnow1416]

Watching video's about making chop makes me hungery. Thank you. I will be trying this out for our birb.

[@hurstjames6199]

Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?

[@andregeorgescu4399]

Hello"👋 I keep many birds and also do my VEGETABLES the same. Great VIDEO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌✌✌👌👌👌👍👍👍 You are GREAT on camera and come across Exerlent! Thank you for SHARING. 💖💚💙🧡💜💗👄 Ps" you are just as beautiful AS ALL YOUR BIRDS. 🤗😍😍😍🤗👌💝💖 Cheers FROM SOUTH AUSTRALIA....🐤🐣🐥🐦🦆🦉💝

[@kagehikari4281]

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.

[@StacyK0731]

You my dear are amazing! Made this chop for my birds today (first time I ever heard of...or made it... and my birds loved it! Thank you, Thank you, thank you, xoxoxo

[@Loveofpets]

Your welcome. So happy you made the chop and your birds enjoyed it.

[@StacyK0731]

@@Loveofpets They Loved it! Thank you! (I've always gave them the veggies, fruits, etc. just not like this! This is soooo much better!!)

[@wick3012]

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.

[@crazygirlontheblock311]

Thank you for this,i was wondering how long it stays fresh!

[@nandab813]

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

[@jima9356]

Very good information on making chop. Now I have to write it all down and start putting it together. I am feeling good that my budgies will finally start eating healthy food. In a prior video, you mentioned sprouting; would appreciate a video on sprouting. Your birds look so good; healthy and beautiful; they show a lot of energy also.

[@Loveofpets]

I may make a video on sprouting soon 😀

[@UniqueRiverPanda]

I love watching your videos! There always so fun and nice. I do have a question though. Can I feed the same chop everyday to my green cheeck or would it be best to switch it up every now and then?

[@abielbarajas9066]

I accidentally ate chop by accident once and thought oh shit this is delicious!

[@punkyfeathers1639]

I frequently add it to my Mac n cheese

[@nancyvasquez8644]

Thx for the video. I have a picky cockatiel who is not crazy eating veggies or fruits. I mush all his veggies in the chopper so I can put about 1 teaspoon of his seed and pellets every morning (the veggies are separated in very small containers and in freezer). My Hahns, he eats everything but I notice he's not to crazy having the veggies mushed, actually he likes it in small pieces so I have to cut it by hand.

[@JiggyTheFemaleRingneck]

This video has really helped me a lot. I’ve always wondered how people made food like this for their birds, im going to buy a food processor now and start doing this too and use this recipe. Thank you so much

[@Loveofpets]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jakeharvey6648]

This is great information thank you!! I just wanted to point out though in case you didn’t already know, that some of your birds need a nail trim...they’re beautiful though☺️

[@Farmer3637]

So close to 100k

[@2brownbraids]

thank you, i will make some chop for my lone bird. hope he will eat.

[@hurstjames6199]

Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?

[@rylanmoore678]

This is amazing, I’ll definitely have to try it! How long does this recipe last?

[@Loveofpets]

It lasts me about one week but I have 29 birds that eat it.

[@michelle-ue1lg]

Great video by the way my cockatiels and budgies love it

[@CMDR_Verm]

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 🙂

[@24peachy80]

I never knew tomato is also toxic for birds, I remember giving some tomato to my green cheek conure before, thank god she’s okay and is healthy

[@parispena6685]

I just tried this recipe and my bird loved it thank you very much and can you please tell me if Is ok to feed a half a Millet a day to my bird?

[@joebean3615]

If you make chop and it’s soggy you can grind up flaxseed (also known as linseed) and add that or strain it or even both

[@cathyjerome1662]

I don't do chopped BUT they do get fresh greens and eggs daily . Plus pellets and bee pollen .

[@jodimcnamara8662]

Hi new to your channel and loving all the info just wondering if adding sweet potato or pumkin or even the brassel sprouts do you have to cook it first thank you for your time sending love from australia

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, welcome to my channel. I cook the sweet potatoes and squash. Pumpkin and brussel sprouts can be fed uncooked. Hope this helps.

[@hurstjames6199]

Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?

[@sallyp9919]

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.

[@Loveofpets]

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.

[@suzianscott5747]

Ah my budgies like when I hand feed them broccoli like how you would feed them with millets
