found these and thought i would share with all!

i know we all have our own way of making things cause we know what our picky eaters eat and dont eat...but.....i just thought i would share this with you allllll




Recipe
Title Yam Mash
Ingredients 2 Medium/Large Yams
1/4 c Raisins
1 tsp. Butter (optional-but does have things a bird needs!)
½ tsp. Pumpkin spice
½ c Corn
1/4 c Nonfat Yogurt (preferably organic)

Method Yams are an excellent source of vitamin A. The corn is a good addition because most birds will eat corn, and the yam mixture sticks to it, so they get to learn how to like yams if they're wary of new foods. The yogurt gives them not only calcium, but acidophilus and bifidus, both excellent fighters of yeast infections!

Cut yams into quarters then boil until soft. Drop in raisins for the last 5 minutes of boiling. Cool. Peel off skins. Put peeled yams back in pot and mash, adding butter and pumpkin spice. Add back raisins and corn and mix into the yams. Top with Yoguart.

Warning: Do not leave this food in the cage for more than 2-3 hours, especially on a hot day.






Title Sweet Rice Mash
Ingredients 4 coarsley grated sweet potatoes
2 bags brown rice
1 can carrot juice
1 can veggie baked beans (rinsed to remove excess sugar)
1 bag small shell pasta


Method Boil rice using carrot juice added to the water until almost done. Add in sweet potaoes and pasta (adding a little more water if needed - just enough to keep from sticking - you want it to fully absorb). Stir often. Add in rinsed baked beans, stir some more. I divide it up into several zip freezer bags and then take out what I need each day.




Recipe
Title Tails up good
Ingredients 1 c cornmeal
1 c wheatgerm
1/4 c groats
1/4 c buckwheat
1/4 c soybeans finely ground
1/4 c nuts coarsely ground
1/8 c olive oil
1 c fresh/frozen corn cooked
1 c shredded carrots
1c greens chopped
5 eggs shell and all
1 apple chopped fine
1/2 cup soy milk
left over rice or beans (optional)

Method Mix all ingredients together. Prepare 9x13 inch pan with olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, then at 350 degrees for another 30 minutes or until done.





Title Easy Cornbread
Ingredients 1 package cornbread mix (try to get one low in sugar)
2 eggs, shell included
1/2 cup seed mix
1/2 cup pellets (any brand you prefer)
1 cup mixed vegetables.


Method Mix ingredients together per package instructions and adding the extra ingredients above. Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes
