Homemade Egg Food

[Bea]

Most of the time i just use shop bought egg and biscuit mix but sometimes i like to make my own egg mix for variety. What do you use to make egg mix? For mine i:
- hard boil an egg
- take off the shell and microwave it for 1min to make it easier to crunch up
- crush the shell to almost a powder with the back of a sthingy
- mash the rest of the egg with a fork
- mix the shell and the egg together
- add about 1 tbsp of pellets/crumbles and 1 tbsp of shop bought egg mix
Tip: If your birds are eyeing it suspiciously you can always mix in some seed. Chances are they'll probably try to pick out the seed and accidently taste the egg food (which of course is yummo!)

my egg mix is just EGG boiled and egg shell and seed... cause thats all my birds like,well some of them. and when i feel like it i mix in vegies and whatever else looks good.

Thanks for starting this Bea-I have great trouble getting mine to eat anything but the bought stuff so I will give anything a try.
