butternut squash?

[Lex]

Hi i`ve went out and got a few things for my cag kya and butternut squash was one of them errr what do i do with it :silly: i mean raw or cook and if so how long?

 

Also i`ve seen that you can give greys hard boiled eggs with the shell still on? is this true? i know only give them these once and a while just thought it would be nice to give her something new to try:whistle:

As far as the eggs you can also scramble them and include the shell, just crush it up a bit. I wouldn't give your grey a whole hard boiled egg as that would be too much at one time.

 

I take butternut squash and cut it in half and then drizzle a little olive oil on it and bake it in the oven until tender, how long depends on how big the squash is.

ok thank you i will give that a try.

Butter Nut Squash is good for them as are most yellow veggies. They can be given to them raw or cooked. Some like them raw and others like them cooked.

 

As Judy said, scrambling the egg gives you more opportunities to add in healthful items such as part of the shell, Red Palm Oil, Flax Seed etc. I even mix in a teaspoon of baby formula sometimes just to add nutrients and variety.

I steam the butternut squash, and mash it up. They absolutely go nuts over it!!

I don't see why not Shelia as we do other foods the same way for one butternut squash provides many meals for a bird.

I have always steamed and mashed mine as well, we use a full one and there is enough for the birds and us to eat some as well.

 

I might try and bake some and see if they like it.
