I bake this mix once every two weeks for my birds.

Truthfully i sort of chuck it together, but the base is normally cooked vegetables, and museli. or frozen veg, apple puree.

This week it was

1 sweet potato
Few carrots
Broccolli
Vegtable pasta twists
Sweet corn

Boil all this together untill almost soft, drain and get excess water out. Mix together leaving a bit chunky.


I buy this brand of Museli, in 6 mini packs for this reason.
www.dorsetcereals.co.uk/our-recipes/mueslis/berries-cherries
you will see the different types, i only use their museli as its low in salt.

I chuck in a pack of this, and if i make alot of veg mix i top up with oats, weetabix, and flaked Millet. Or cherios and plain rice.
Whatever is in my cupboard at the time.
If you have them finely chopped dandilion leaves

Then i add some unsalted mixed nuts, (i blend my own)and hulled sunflower seeds/mixed seeds, and some birdie vits and calcium.

Mix until you have a sort of flapjack mix. Bung in a baking tray and bake on gas 5, untill firm. This week i added a small pinch of cinnamon. Cut into squares and freeze. This will last the two weeks, as i dont give it every day, but its great if im running late in the mornings. Normally Ziggy and Biggs get some every other day. Or i use it like a treat.


My dogs and my birds enjoy this. The little ones in the avairy, who dont eat much veg like it as well. If i pop a square in with chopped fruit, they will normally go for this first.

Cooking for your birds i think encourages them to eat vegtables, and its a great time saver for you.

Ive only been cooking for my birds this year, i think having Ziggy and Biggles now encouraged me to do it. I find it great though, and its a good way of getting some goodness into the budges and Kaeci, who are not that great veg eaters, but Kaeci will gobble up a square or two in a day.
