Chop up all fruits into palatable pieces excluding seeds of pear and apple. Toss pieces together and take out what you are going to use, then freeze. I find that my budgies like the guava, apple,and pear recipe best. Budgies will chow down on a salad of about 1 litre of salad sprinkled with 1 eighth tsp of lemon or lime juice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ambrosia Posted by: Kathy Johnson kjohnson@ddc.com February 11, 1997 2 medium oranges peeled 1 small banana cut into slices 20-30 seedless grapes, quartered if your birds are smaller 1 cup strawberries cut in half 1 small apple cut into bird-sized pieces Combine all ingredients and toss well. Can be frozen until further use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beeper's Juice Posted by: Crystal Diaz - sbrri@hotmail.com - July 23, 2000 Use aprox. 1" cube of your birdie favorite fruits and vegetables (at least 5) and water. Mix all the ingredients in the liquidizer. Shake them until they are a juice. Refrigerate. And if you want, drink it with your bird. Nutritious and delicious. My parrot likes it so much. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bert's Sunshine Surprise Posted by: AnnMarie - apagoria@hotmail.com - January 21, 1999 1 box any type sugar-free jello assorted fruits (dried or fresh) Seed (any type your bird prefers) Zupreem fruit pellets Follow directions on box for jello. Put in refrig. for about one hour. Cube all fruits and add remaining ingredients to jello. Stir. Return to refrig. and allow to finish setting up. Serve one spoonful a day to your tiel or budgie and be sure to take it away after about an hour. Jello is more prone to bacteria and should not be left in the cage all day. Enjoy!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cornmeal Fantasy Posted by: Carolyn Swicegood - Carolyn@LandofVos.com - June 14, 1997 If you can boil water and stir, you can make your birds very happy! ! This recipe is similar to a flan or soft pudding. You need only fine ground corn flour, available in most supermarkets. Stir it into boiling water until it starts to thicken, and continue stirring for another minute or two. At this point, you have a soft pudding. If you want to embellish the recipe, you can add pumpkin puree, apple sauce, or baby food fruits or veggies. I think you may be surprised just how much your birds like this simple food. You'll have no problem finding a feathered friend to "lick the spoon"! My birds just call it YUM! It can be refrigerated for several days or frozen in squares for later use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fruit Smoothies Posted by: Ashley - Ashes373@aol.com - March 29, 1998 Your birdies favorite fruit Dice into small pieces and remove any toxic seeds (apple, pear, cherry pits etc). Put into blender or food processor and mix until almost liquid but some chunks still remain. Put mixture into ice cube trays (for smaller birds you can buy small ice cube trays) and put into freezer until frozen. Give to your birdies and let them enjoy!! Especially good for those summer months!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fruity Ice Posted by: Kathy Johnson kjohnson@ddc.com - February 11, 1997 Select several types of fresh fruits, any combination, diced into pieces. Puree fruits in blender or food processor until smooth and mixed. Pour into ice cube trays, and freeze until solid. Keep frozen, stored in freezer containers or plastic bags. To serve, remove 1-2 cubes per bird, thaw slightly. Some of my birds actually seem to prefer the frozen fruit, especially in summer! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summer Treat Posted by: Kitty - cute@pacific.net.sg - December 19, 1997 This is a very simple recipe that requires no cooking! Fruit juice(Depends on which fruit your bird likes) Apples, Mango, Pear, etc.(your Birds' FAV Fruits) Carrot (OPT) Procedure: Freeze the fruit juice. In the mean time, cut the fruits into small pieces. Take out the fruit juice when it is 70% frozen. Put the fruits into the juice. (There should be more fruits than juice). Serve. Fruit eating birds like lories will love it!!
