Breakfast foods!!

[Raiderbabe]

Hey everyone! I get up early everyday to go to work. Early for me is 6:45 AM. I am not a morning person :ohmy: Malibu also gets up in the morning at that time and comes out of his cage for almost 45 min. THen he has to go back in while I go to work. He eats his breakfast at this time. I have been giving him a special bean mix that I mmake for him from my breeder. It get heated and served. He also gets birdie bread in the morning from Harrison's and Momma Birdie Bread. He loves this! I try to rotate everyday so he doesn't always eat the same thing. I tried giving him fresh fruit but he doesn't seem to want it and then I have to throw it away when I go to work because it can't sit in there for 8 plus hours. Now he only gets it on the weekends and sometimes at night. My question is: Does anyone have any good ideas for healthy breakfast food that I can leave in there all day and not have to worry about it getting spoiled. Please help! Malibu needs some variety!

My parrots sleep in their own bedrom, and come out in the morning. After their shower they get their food. In the morning they get often cooked beans, which i buy dried. I soak them in the evening, and cook them in the morning. The parrots each get some beans ( white beans, kekers, kidney beans, green peas etc.) together with a slice of apple, raw carrot or broccoli, sometimes parsley, sometimes cooked green beans ( depends of my own meal that day), sometimes a slice of banana, some grapes, fresh chili pepper, sometimes potato or pasta, and always half a walnut. Depending on the quantity, I also give them Harrisson's HPC. I give them also water, half a litre, with one teaspoon biological apple vinegar. At noon I go to work, and I return around 10.00 pm. Then they get some biological seeds to nibble on before they go to bed. Sometimes they also get a palmnut. Or a rosehip, or other wild berries.

 

My birds are busy foraging all day, and I take away the leftovers. The vinegar in the water works fine against bacteria-growth. I often go outside with them, where they can play around in the forest, chewing on decayed wood, and digging in the sand. It's good for their resistance.
