Thank you so much for this channel. I just adopted a 20 year old female Senegal and your videos are making her transition into a new home so much easier for everyone. I'm definitely going to try this chop recipe and I know she'll most likely throw it all out of her bowl for a few days like Alfie did 🤣

Good job, chop formulating is a craft that is so rewarding to master it, at first it had my brain in pain but it gets easier to understand with time. I don’t use pasta, just grain, raw quinoa has been a favorites for my bird. When your bird throws chop out of their bowl they can pick on the taste and more often than not that way they realize it feels and tastes good. Less cooked stuff is better because cooked stuff go bad quicker, you can sprout some legumes (stick to chickpea, garbanzo, pea, mung and adzuki beans, other beans can be toxic when sprouted and raw, you can do a lot with this few legumes), you can sprout many grains, you can feed some grains raw/soaked like quinoa and millet and wild rice (I always soak them), you can sprout and soak lentils. Always cook beans, never feed them raw. I personally think it is okay to give just a tiny percentage of cooked stuff as long as 85% of the chop is fresh and diverse, so they have the antioxidants to deal with the cooked ingredients in the first place. I do not feed pasta, some birds will fill up on it because it’s all yummy carbs.

I make it in the morning for a couple days worth. I eat a whole plant food diet so always have fresh vegetables and am preparing those for my meals every day. Everything you made is what I eat too! I’ll have to give it a go and batch cook some to have on hand. Thank you for sharing.

I feel like I am out my depth.... I am going to try all your suggestions in a few days. Just one question can you use can of beans or use a food processor for the chopping? Thanks and keep up the good work.

But if I put my hand close to her she will try to bite... For the moment I will let her fly around to know the place without me trying to touch her. Thanks for the tips and if you think I should do anything different let me know.

I noticed you dont use the seeds from the peppers, are they bad for senegals, I've been feeding kiwi the seeds sprinkled on top of the chop. Is your butternut squash cooked? Thank you again x

I'm watching this for more ideas of what to try for her, haven't tried pumpkin, might give that a go :) both mine HATE peppers & also cabbage, so not sure if they'd eat the brussel sprouts if they hate cabbage so much would they?

My man 😅 African Parrots eats a toooon of legumes, lentils and beans in the wild, including garbonzo beans that have farmed there for many hundreds of years 🙈 also, I would skip the pasta, I know it's healthier than regular white pasta made with flour, but it's still a processed product. Sprouted seeds and beans are way better for your parrot than any kind of pasta, and most parrots go bananas for them

Strictly speaking in terms of evolution, we were born to enjoy both plants and animals. Our teeth are designed to do both! That is a fact, my earthling friend, not an opinion. Look at the teeth of planteaters and the teeth of meat eaters, they are both designed for a specific purpose. Your biased opinion that animals are not food is incorrect. However, I will agree that processed food has no place in our homes or bellies. Carry on my wayward son.........
