healthy treat

[new guy on the block]

a recipe taught to me at tafe doing my certificate 2 in animal studies
> unsulted popcorn
> eggs
> peanuts - unsalted and in shells
> i think thats about it

> mix 1 cup of popcorn with about 10 peanuts and 2 beaten eggs untill popcorn dramatically reduces in size
> add and mix in the crushed egg and peanut shells (for calcium)
> work the mixture into a ball around the end of a peice of chain so that it meshes with the chainlinks
> place onto a sheet of grease paper and cook on high (in oven) untill the egg cooks and holds everything together
> leave to cool and then hang in a cage for your birds to enjoy

this is also a huge hit with dogs, rats/mice and all parrots

Peanuts in the shell can be deadly to parrots due to the mold that can grow on them.

I agree with the peanuts...

you could always do slivers of almond or seed of some kind... you could probably even put chopped veggies in there I'm assuming....



cool idea... my birds love popcorn!
