your welcome hun, let me know how it goes down

on our babies we ring, it starts with K&B then a number, then 08 , the K&b stands for kev and brooke (which is us) then the number is the number of chick and the 08 stands for 2008, here in the UK you can pick what you like on your band

they are absolutly stunning, love the red fringe too

here is a recipie to make your own egg food and save you lots of money by not buying the ready made egg food! it goes down a treat with my own birds and all the members on another foum i posted it on have all said the same i hope your parrots enjoy it too ingrediants = 2 eggs 1 slice of bread bit of olive oil Take your two eggs and place them in a pan of boiling water. Boil the eggs between 15 to 20 minutes. If you boil them for to long the yolk tends to go black. After the eggs have finished boiling, peel off their shells and place the shells on a dish. Put the shells in a microwave and set the microwave to high, then microwave for 5 min's. This will make the shells go hard and brittle, ready for crushing. Back to the eggs, now you have peeled the eggs, let them cool down completely for 30 to 45 min's or you could leave them in a pan of cold water to speed things up. While the eggs are cooling we now have time to crush the egg shells. Place the shells in a bowl and with the end of a rolling pin start crushing and grinding the shells into small flakes. I try to get them down to 1/8" flakes and smaller. O.K. now we have the crushed shells, keep the shells in the bowl and roughly chop the eggs into the same bowl. Take a folk and start mashing the eggs and shells together until you have a fine crumbly mix. add a tiny bit of olive oil to make moist. Now this is were the bread crumbs come in. This is a rough guide take about 58 grams of bread crumbs and add to the mix, (or half a slice of bread per egg) start mixing the crumbs into the egg food until you get a dry-ish crumbly mix, you will have to keep adding more bread crumbs until you get a dry and crumbly mix. This part of the mix is optional. I like to add in some bird seed to my mix, especially if you are going to feed it to birds what are not use to egg food, with the seeds added it will encourage birds to start pecking at it until they get use to the taste. When your birds get the taste of egg food, they will soon clear their pots. Now the egg food is finished place it into a air tight container and keep refrigerated. If you have made a bigger quantify place into a number of small pots and put them into the deep freezer

next time im in town then i will get another small jar, i didnt try it warm round 2 here we come lol

hi and welcome

i prefare to give my birds the nuts, not the oil, as the oil is concentrated i just dont know how much to give to them?? whereas the nut they eat with pleasure, they turn their nose up at the oil
