Quick and Easy Kashi Meal for Your Parrots


Need a quick healthy meal for the birds? Try this one. It will feed all 17 of my birds a nice little meal.

What you need:


  • Kashi Pilaf in the 8.5 oz packet- This has 7 different grains in it Including:OATS, LONG GRAIN BROWN RICE, RYE, HARD RED WINTER WHEAT, TRITICALE, BUCKWHEAT, BARLEY, SESAME SEEDS
  • 4 oz. jar of organic baby food. I used sweet potato.
  • Herbs- I used 3 teaspoons from my friend Marilu Anderson the Avian Goddess.
  • Veggies if you have them. I try to keep organic, no salt added frozen veggies around. Peas and beans too!
In a glass bowl add the Kashi, 2 tablespoons of water and the baby food. Microwave for a minute and a half. Stir well. Add 3 teaspoons of herbs. Stir well and refrigerate.After 30 minutes or so the liquid will be absorbed and the meal ready to serve.

I gave this to the kids cold and got a tails up from everyone. Everyone gets a heaping teaspoon. More for the bigger birds depending on what is left over the first time around.

Serve as your birds like it!

Yard Work


Well I set my timer for 15 minutes. I started with the area around the front door. Looks better now. I saw a black fuzzy spider with a yellow dot on his bum. I went to get the camera to take a picture and he is gone. Scary!




The potted peony from John's grandma is blooming. Looks great and smells good too. The peony tree looks good and is still growing but there are not any blooms yet.


We have half the strawberry plants as last year but are getting plenty for us and the birds. We have been eating them daily.
Yum!

Now I am going to work on the area around the mail box. It is looking pretty shabby. I hope I don't see that spider again!
