Cleo, Monte, Gypsys,
and Skittles' Diet: At dinner time they
get a little of what we are having as long as it is something like spaghetti,
a little piece of chicken or pork, rice, etc. Along with that they gets
some berries, or chopped up fruit, grapes, stuff that doesn't really fit
on the kabob. :) If we are not eating bird-healthy that night I fix them
up one of the mixes that you heat up and soften with hot water. Lately
I have begun making my own mix. I buy frozen corn, carrots, sweet potatoes,
green beans, peas, soybeans, and broccoli. I add a little of 2 or 3 of
the vegetables (say for instance corn, soy beans, and carrots) to some
ground wheat (purchased at Wild oats). I also change it up by adding pasta
instead of ground wheat. Some other additions include raisins, shredded
coconut, dried bananas, dried pineapple, and so on. For a quick dinner
I make up cornbread in advance. I follow the recipe only I had things
like pumpkin seeds, small currents, corn, crushed up dried banana, coconut,
dried pineapple, sometimes a little seed. Just about anything you can
think of that would be healthy and a treat for the birds. Once it is cooled
off I cut it up into squares and then freeze it. When it is dinner time
I through a cube for each of the fiddos
into the microwave for less than a minute. You have to be sure that it
is cooled off in the middle before serving so as not to burn their little
tongues. For snacks during
the day I give a number of dried fruits, or some fresh banana, or any
other fresh fruit. I also give them snow peas and cranberries. |
