[@margiekennedy1988]

It was good to see Mary Carl. Every time she is on, I learn more and more about birds and other things. She is growing up to be a pretty girl. I can see the love for her birds.

[@sharingthebounty2488]

Really interesting! This is a brilliant idea! MC is so creative!

[@judycline4211]

You can really tell that MaryCarl loves her birds by the amount of work she puts into making good nutritish food for them. Some would just buy bird seeds and leave it at that. But she wants to lie best for her birds 🐦 🐦‍⬛. That's absolutely wonderful!!

[@renebates8090]

Way to do it right Mary Carl..that's awesome and so much better for your birds...❤😊

Thank you, MaryCarl, for an exciting tutorial - awesome education. And, Brooke, love watching your interaction with your precious daughter. ❤❤

I grocery shop for my granddaughters guinea pigs when I watch them. Greens and assorted peppers and fruit

[@pamgriffith1937]

It amazes me the amount of love Mary Carl puts into her birds. I’m gonna say there’s not another child on the planet her age with the amount of love, knowledge and nurturing for animals (especially birds) that she has!! Thank you for sharing with us MC❤️ and Brooke!!

Marycarl takes care of her bird so well, they eat better than I do. 😄 I'm in awe of how much time and thought goes into preparing the food for her sweet birds.❤

MC, you're a beautiful, wonderful, amazing, caring, loving, bright young lady. You're simply the best. It's such a treat when we get to see you in videos.

That labor is part people don't realize and want to pay for homemade goods but it's worth it. Good to see MC looks great. Used to volunteer and I cut up small PT for turtles and to just see them eat that fresh veggies was priceless

Very interesting process. It certainly looked delicious. This was a great learning video. Hope we get to see how the birds like it.

[@yvonnemcmahan9037]

Mary Carl is such a brilliant young lady. She loves and is very dedicated to her birds. Her intelligence is beyond her years. It's so cool to watch her make her birds fresh food. Thank you Mary Carl for including us.

Another GREAT video, Brooke and MaryCarl, the information you provide for people is awesome, TY for sharing

[@pat_in_va8605]

Okay, this video is awesome! Thank you both for sharing with all of us.🐦🐔🐥🐣🐤

[@DLRyoung]

Goodness. I use to have two macaws, they live with other family members because I am no longer in the same country. Jack is a blue and gold, the other Jill is a green wing. Both from hatch 🐣. Older they got the more vegetables they loved, we did have a freeze dryer back then but wow that’s a game changer! Fresh only lasts a day or two, that will last so much longer and more healthy. .. my birds are still alive well. They are about 40 now. Blessings.

[@nancymarie4463]

It was nice to see Mary Carl again . This was an very interesting one ❤

[@judithgillis267]

What a beautiful way to start my day. The bird food looks great. Yes it costs a bit more maybe to start the process but you can control what your birds eat. And much more healthy for them.

[@maryblanscet3867]

Loved this! It was so nice to experience the lovely mom and daughter team together.

[@johncnorris]

That freeze drier is for the birds, in a good way!

[@krickette5569]

I LOVE my Harvest Right Freeze Dryer! I use it to help lessen the amount of canning I have to do when I bring in my garden harvest. I also use it to provide freeze dried meals for my brother in law who is a trucker. I freeze dry steaks, shrimp, chili, onion and pepper mix and lots of other stuff. He keeps it stored under his bunk and doesn't have to worry about keeping it cold. When he pulls in for the night he has a quick and delicious meal ready in no time. When I find a great sale on something, like avocados for instance, I buy a bunch and freeze dry them. We live a good distance from town so if I want avocados or something like that I can't just run to the store. My freeze dryer allows me to "run to my pantry" instead.

[@karenmccleary7616]

Lightbulb moment…I’ve been wanting to make my own dog food and, thanks to the ladies of Cog Hill, now I will be able to make larger batches at a time. THANKS ❤

That pearl couscous is delicious with small diced red roasted peppers and onions. Sooo yummy

[@addieanderson2043]

For 20 years I raised parrots. When they were feed babies I cooked up a big pot of 15 bean soup. They loved it. I also added rice.

[@blkmjcwmn61]

This video was so interesting! I can tell Mary Carl has really studied what her birds like, and what is good for them. She is growing up so fast! I never see a video with Mary Carl in it that I don't come away so impressed by her knowledge of birds and plants and other things too! I know you and Jason are so proud of her! I am too!

[@sherryk5313]

Mary Carl is amazing and so are you Brooke. 😊

[@skyyoung5383]

Wow! What a great idea! Bird feed at the pet stores or even online is sooo expensive and who know what has been added as preservatives. This way you know exactly what your birds are getting and it is made with love ❤😁

[@lorraineeagle4009]

It was great seeing MaryCarl. I really enjoyed learning how to make healthy bird feed and really just a good way to preserve veggies.

[@janicehales2958]

Dang, those birds eat better than I do! Great job ladies!

[@GrandmaJilly1]

This is so neat! I wish I had done this way back when I used to go to all the produce farms around in Michigan to get the fruits & vegetables! This would have saved me a lot of time & gas for traveling. So cool! Thanks for showing how to do the bird food - so interesting! Thank you Brooke & Mary Carl!!

[@guyjulius8078]

I will definitely be showing my mom this video because she loves making treats for her birds. Thank y’all for the awesome video, and have a wonderful day.

[@carolineholmes7646]

Well I thoroughly enjoyed this video Brooke and Mary Carl. ❤ I want a freeze dryer too! ❤ Mary Carl you are very confident in all that you are doing because you have researched and educated yourself so well. Your birds are the luckiest birds to have you for a caregiver, friend and trainer!❤❤

[@beckystone7994]

It’s wonderful that MaryCarl is learning how to make her own bird food especially since she has so many and it’s whole nutrition for her birds and no fillers or added ingredients that her birds may not like or benefit from !! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻

[@heatherd.9390]

I completely agree! And just think, in a month or two she'll be able to feed her birds from the family kitchen garden. What fun to walk out the door to pick some veggies that she can then go into the kitchen and freeze dry it for them! It doesn't get any more nutritious and cheaper than that!😊

[@jeannebeal4924]

Really interesting concept! That mixture looked great for the birds, but it made me hungry too! Great seeing you and MaryCarl doing this together.

Thank you for showing us how to make homemade bird feed. I wish I knew this when I had my canaries as they both dies of thyroid issues caused by store bought bird feed. This would have been so much healthier for them. Mary Carl it looks to me like you have the best of both your parents and are growing into a beautiful and talented young woman.

Your birds will love their food! I just received my long sleeved T shirt with the Royal Crown pigeon’s picture on it, I love it! Be sure and take us along with you when you feed your flock their new meal.

[@organicgal7751]

Great idea for making the birds food. I am thinking that it may be a good idea to freeze dry fresh vegetables from the garden to feed my chickens in the winter when they don't have greens to eat. I always have so many extras

[@paperchaser9565]

Can the birds eat the fresh food ever? Also, will your daughter Marycarl ever try to hatch anymore duckbills since the incubator is in your closet area and you can maintain the temperature better.

[@dwightpierce128]

I learned something new today I never realized big bird from sesame street is a naked neck chicken. Thumbs up Marycarl.

[@josanewagner8422]

Thanks for sharing. What a great idea. I would have loved to have one of these machines when I was younger.

[@darleneparker6111]

I found this to be very educational. On one of our trips to Panama, my Aunt Raquel showed me how she feeds the wild birds that live near her home. She has a small piece of sturdy wire fencing in a tree like a platform. She picked a papaya and sliced it into large pieces. She placed them on the fencing for the birds to eat. All sorts of birds showed and had a feast. Would you please show the birds eating what Mary Carl and you made in this video. Thanks.

[@lindamaskus5142]

My friend puts out half oranges on her deck (there's nails on there and you just stick them in that) and then lids with grape jelly on them. The orioles (can't remember what else) loves it.

[@JMJWill]

Suggest using clean painters gloves. Keeps hands clean, free from color and if cutting hot peppers, keeps from accidentally touching eyes or sensitive areas and burning sensation.

[@Luv2knit100]

LOVE my freeze dryer! But I just processed 4 trays, 2 parchment lined layers of thick cut pineapple and it took 54 hrs. Even small julienne cut carrots took 32 hrs. I have mushroom slices in right now and its been 21 hrs with about 5 to 6 hrs more. I really enjoy banana slices. I put them in my oatmeal and snack on them. Love seeing food processing videos. Thanks for sharing! 😸 Give Tucker a scricten for me!
