Chop

[tarheelgal]

Well I made my first chop today woohoo. I can't seem to get mojo my cag to eat veggies in chunks or any other way so I made a batch of chop he has eat the veggie noodles out of it and some of the rest I guess it is a start. I will put it in his cage daily and hope after a while he takes to it he also has the TO pellets in his cage he will eat as last resort. I am crossing my fingers he starts to like the veggies.

Congratulations, now the fun begins. lol Too bad he doesn't like the TOP pellets very much. I sprinkle the "dust" over new things some times.

 

You can try feeding it at different temperatures. Or try pouring some fruit juice over it. I got Phenix started by mixing it heavily w/apple sauce at first. Anything I want to introduce Kura to works best mixed in oatmeal. A little peanut butter or palm oil mixed into warm mash can be the bird equivalent of putting ketchup on everything. Some people think that's a good thing.

 

I don't know if you made a lot. But if you freeze it in small portions, you can get creative & not have to waste anything. Greyt start, though. He did eat some & he didn't even fling it at you.

I put the palm on his pellets trying to get him to eat it he is slowly lol. And no he didn't fling any in the floor this time lol. and yes I plan on freezing it tomorrow made a bunch.

Congrats! I made my first batch of chop about a week ago. I had lots of veggie from my garden that I wanted to use so I didn't have to purchase too many. Mine was like the "autumn chop". My greys and zons are starting to pick at it more and more, but the parakeets devour it!
