How to make weekly Chop for your Parrot // Chop for my Green Cheek Conure

We want to give Kiwi the healthiest life possible by feeding him properly with lots of fresh vegetables. That includes making chop for him to eat. We make chop once a week and he loves to help almost as much as he loves to eat it!
Feel free to contact us at [e-mail]

My husband & I hardly ever have a lot of fresh veggies & fruits on hand, but my 20 year old Amazon parrot, George, is showing signs of less-than-perfect health. This channel was recommended to me by a friend and I so appreciate it! I am going to start doing this for my George. He deserves it! New sub here. x0x0

Love kiwi he is a wonderful superviser and quality control inspecter and it give you a chance to see what he likes and doesnt like in his chop, great video

[@kiwiscorner3832]

Thank! I have found that he absolutely loves to help in the kitchen! I personally thinks he likes he chop better on the weeks I let him "help" and supervise!

I also mix chop fresh every few days as my green cheeks dislike thawed, mushy greens and veggies. I do, however, prepare a soak and simmer bean/grain mix in. advance and then I spread that out on a cookie sheet and dry it on low heat in the oven (just want to dry the surface of the beans and grains) prior to freezing. Doing the surface drying step ensures that the mix does not freeze as a solid block. I mix in organic frozen peas and corn with this bean/grain mix. I fill a small dish from the frozen bag each evening and put in the fridge so it is thawed by morning and can be added to the fresh veggie/green/under-ripe fruit mix.

I put the chop into ice cube trays and freeze it, the store the cubes in a freezer bowl. Lasts a month or so.

[@kimlinder2369]

Ohhh I'm so glad I found this video!!! It is very helpful to me!!!! I love Kiwi too. So CUTE!!!!

[@kiwiscorner3832]

I'm so glad! Kiwi loves his fresh foods. If your bird doesn't readily jump at chop, don't despair...keep trying!

[@HellavaLive]

I just came across your channel I love your channel. We just got a GCC. He was born in July. We just love our bird. Great content !!

[@anettemittag9318]

Kiwi's head feathers are a bit messy 😊 is he losing feathers?

[@annamaria239]

Nice! Is it staying in the fridge or you frozen it?

[@stillamarine1001]

My Conor parrot is a rescue. He was not taken care of for 8 years or so. He will not step up or have anything to do with me. Except when I feed him and clean his cage. He will not come out of his enclosure. And I think he was tormented with a broom.

[@mercedese.m.9626]

Do you steam any of the veggies or is everything raw?

[@devonphillips9467]

How often for the day does he get this

[@anettemittag9318]

Is the beet boiled or raw?

[@HellavaLive]

Did you have a hard time getting him to eat veggies as a baby?

[@pennytoto600]

My bird didnt eat chops like this. Any suggest please?

[@mariamkamal1478]

How much do they eat in a day and what kinds of food?

[@carolortiz9235]

Is it okay if pet birds eat conventional produce? In other words, produce that is not organic?

[@zacharydaniels7041]

I would say yes , buy what you can afford but if you are able and willing by all means spend a lil more for hopefully what should be a higher quality product.

[@hessy12]

What type of seeds can be added to the chop to attract them more to the chop / also where do you buy your seeds

[@kiwiscorner3832]

I add chia seeds to my chop. I get them at ALdi's or the local organic store. For help seeds (unhulled) I just go onto amazon/online ad search...trying to go organic. I have bought safflower and black sunflower seeds from Harrisons...and i've been happy with them!

[@Eyalharel]

I never understood all the videos here looks way more then a parrot can eat in one time and the veggies get spoiled so why so much?!

[@LiaOn4Pawz]

So basically if you add a lot of veggie chop you can put the rest in the freezer for another day! And this can go on till the veggies are gone! ❤

Cheek

[@stricklyfashion]

Hello! So I just got my green cheek a couple months ago, and he is very timid. Every time I reach my hand close to him he runs away. When I open the cage, he’ll come out and wander around, but I catch hell putting him back in. When my sun conure is sitting on my shoulder, he has flown up on to my shoulder to be by her, but other than that, he doesn’t like anyone near him. What can I do?

[@stricklyfashion]

Also, I should add that my sun conure hates him. Lol

[@kiwiscorner3832]

Time and patience. I started very small with offering treats through the cage bars when he was in the cage. Luckily he accepted them from my fingers.....otherwise put it on a stick or a spoon and offer the treat that he loves that way so that he can get used to you being the 'snack lady'. Slowly progress closer and closer to your goal. He will figure it out!

[@kiwiscorner3832]

ahhh poor baby hated by what he thinks of as his flock!

[@fabangatang]

What can I do if my green cheek won’t eat or transfer to any new food?

[@kiwiscorner3832]

We used the method of sprinkling Harrisons Mash on top of his seeds...because he was on a seed diet when we got him....the mash is tasty to them. Once he got used to that we started to sprinkle the mash on his pellets....and then his chop. He would eat the pellets and the chop because it tasted like his yummy mash. We then started reducing the seeds until he was eating good stuff only and no more seed mixture. THEN we slowly started decreasing the mash that we sprinkled! It is a long process..but it was worth it!!!

[@cschulz9865]

How are you storing that to keep for the week?

[@kiwiscorner3832]

I put it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge. We have no problem with it staying fresh for the week...and in fact have once or twice gone a day or so past the week mark!

[@ruthdickter-dm4bv]

Wow. My Bebe is afraid of knives and can bite me

[@kiwiscorner3832]

Kiwi is so intent on the food that the knife doesn't phase him!
