For some of us, getting our birds to eat healthy is easy and we never have to find ways to get them to choose broccoli over sunflower seeds. But for those parrots that are more based in reality, we’ve had to find ways to get them to eat the foods we know will benefit them the most. One method that many parrot owners have found useful is creating and serving chop to their birds. In this post, we’ll explore what chop is, how to choose the right ingredients, how to store it, and why it can be so good for our birds.
Once upon a time, there were two little birds. They didn’t have names, and they didn’t get to play or explore their world very much, but they had each other. These little birds, later to be known as Daisy and Arthur, spent the first five years of their lives as a pair of breeders. This is their story and it is much like the story of many others in their situation.
As birds become a more common sight in our communities, we have begun to see more art and products designed for those who enjoy them. I’d like to take a look at some of the ways parrots have made their ways into our homes through art and everyday products.
