pinecone treats

[jessicaboyer89]

you will need:

one pinecone
(make sure it has not been sprayed or treated with anything!)
peanut butter
seed mix
chopped fruit, veggies

Wash the pine-cone with soap, rinse well and lay out in a dry place or warm oven (250 degrees). Mix peanut butter, seed mix, and chopped fruit/veggies together and put the mixture inside the pine-cone.

Hi, that sounds like a great idea...But what size pinecone should i use? you dont want one so big that there isn't enough room for them to spread their wings.
Do you think a pinecone about the size of someone's fist if you have a cage that is about one foot deep one foot wide and one foot tall?[/code]

[jessicaboyer89]

hmmm...do you have two birds in that cage? Seems like you need something larger.
I've done this just once and used a small pinecone. Anything too big is intimidating to Tiki.

[bird lover]

Yes, I do have two birds in the same cage. OK thanks I won't use a small pinecone.

[jessicaboyer89]

Sorry...I meant it sounds like you need a larger cage...not pinecone. Sorry!

[bird lover]

My bird's cage is larger than what i said, I was just using that size as an example.

[jessicaboyer89]

Sounds good!

Did you try the pinecones?

[bird lover]

not yet, pinecones don't grow in my area.

Where do you get pinecones if live in the city? Because all the toys I have gotten my CAG with them she has loved so I know she would probably love this treat.

Pine Cones are dirty and may contain bacteria that will kill your loved one. I would be very careful and make sure that you clean the cone good
