This morning i decided to spoil my birdies to the core.

I have discovered that one of those rotating choppers much like that from pampered chef is excellent for chopping harder veggies into bite size chunks for my boys.

This morning i chopped a couple of baby carrots and some broccoli into tiny chunks. I mixed some frozen corn, pellets and seeds into it and they can't stay away from it.

I am definately going to be using my chopper more often for birdie snax!!

That's a great idea.

you know, i HATE cooking (unless its baking), but, strangely, nothing gives me more pleasure than preparing a healthy little meal for my keeties...lol go figure...

might steal this one from you...

my birds wont eat any veggies but broccoli

Great idea, LoveMyBoys! Someone gave me one as a gift and I only use it to chop nuts (for baking) -- now I have a new use for it!

thanks for the tip,I have to try it

My mother in law gave me the pampered chef chopper when i lived close to her, i really only used it when i cooked, and like LoRa, I do not like to cook at all, but am more of a baking person.

Couldn't get them to eat carrots, so i decided to chop them up really tiny and mix in other favorites with it. Even if they don't eat the carrots, it is a great foraging exercise as they will have to sort through what they don't like to get to what they do like, my picky little parrots LOL!

I am going to make a big batch and freeze it in little bowls. I already keep their food in the freezer for freshness and moth prevention ( i keep all my baking ingredients in the freezer, too for the same reason) so i know that will be fine frozen.

LOL Lora! Same here!
