Volkman Soak and Simmer Bean Mix

[KimKim]

I got this http://www.mysafebirdstore.com/product.cgi?group=1858&product=6984 with my last online order, and Babalu loves it! He picked at it the first couple times I offered it to him, but now he cant wait until I put it in his bowl. Just wanted to share.

I should try that, I like that you do not have to cook it.

It is a great soak and cook. We have been using it since we brought Dayo home 4.5 years ago.

My guy really likes http://www.gourmetparrot.com/bean-supreme.html. I mix it in his "chop" in the morning.

 

I also use these from the same mfg for treats along with Harrisons HP coarse...

This is a favorite for our parrots. I make a half bag at a time. It does have to soak overnight, then I rinse it, simmer for a few hours, drain and rinse it again and put it back in the pan. While it is still warm I stir in a tablespoon or so of the red palm oil. I use the snack size zip lock bags to separate it into about a third cup each for our daily use. I put a week's worth in a zip lock freezer bag and freeze it all. Every day I have one in the refrigerator to microwave for about 15 seconds to warm it and feed my two in the evening so they go to bed warmed and full. At the same time, I take another pouch out of the freezer and put it in the refrigerator to thaw for the next night. I love the happy gulping sounds that Gilbert makes when he gobbles his warm beans.
