Warm foods???

[Jessica_rabbitt]

Hi:) I'm new to the forum and parrot ownership:D we are going to pick up our new bundle of joy tomorow and I read somewhere that it is comforting to a new parrot to offer a warm meal before the first sleep in their new home something like oatmeal or cream of wheat?? Has anyone heard of this??? Does anyone have any yummy recipes???

~ thanks

Congrats on your new baby! You will need to post pictures.

I have heard the same thing - that warm mushy food is like home for a bird.

I haven't tried oatmeal or cream of wheat (but they sound like they'd be fine) but my bird loves warm quinoa, brown rice and egg white. As a meal I'll mix egg white, quinoa or rice, broccoli, carrot and parsley together and he gobbles it up.

Here's a recipe I made up that he absolutly loves!!! I put brown rice, oatmeal, a 7 bean mix, cooked sweet potato, fresh mango, apple, and blueberries. I make a big batch and then freeze it flattened in large ziplocs and just break a chunk off and heat it up when I want:)
