Basically it is a mixture of cooked whole grains, vegetables and cooked white beans and lentils. There are lots of variations of this home cooked food that you can find in the Diet, Health and Nutrition section of the forum. There is a search box in the upper right in each section and if you type in the word gloop it will give you all of the posts containing the word.
For the sake of providing variety and proper nutrition, I vary my recipe pretty often, Sometimes I use different whole grains and other times I change the vegetables in it. As I said, I mainly do this to provide better nutrition to my birds, but I also figure that it gets pretty boring to eat the same food all of the time so I change it. I try to maintain the same ratios for the ingredients mine is about 40% half cooked whole grains, 40% raw or lightly cooked vegetables and 20% thoroughly cooked white beans and lentils. I also use a powdered vitamin/ mineral supplement that I sprinkle on the food weekly and just as an aid for digestion I add an avian probiotic once a month.
I hope that this helps you.
