- I love making my birds' chop every month! Here is a video on how to make bird chop for your parrots! Parrot chop is so easy to make and it's very nutritious for your birds! Bird chop also provides the necessary variety that is needed in your parrot's diet! I switch up the parrot chop recipes every month and I'll show you the guidelines I like to follow when making bird chop!

My budgies were only fed on shop bought seed and so when I got them, they refused anything else. I’m working on them having a more healthy diet so I’m making this today! 😊
How do I introduce it to my new parrot. so far he dosent like apples or spinach
Try other stuff .. brocolli, carrots, lettace ect .. i know carrots and brocolli go very well with mine
Is it okay to use normal rice rather than brown rice ?
Yes it is although brown rice and wild rice are better in nutrients though👍
Isn't cucumber a fruit ? Pretty sure that it's a fruit
That is superb, it's really nice to see someone care so much for their animals and take the time to make healthy foods rather than just buy a bag of bird food and think that it will provide all the nutrition a bird needs. I don't even have a bird but I really enjoyed watching your video. Well done you and I wish you and your birds so much health and happiness.
thanks so much for watching! 😊
The whole keeping fruit aside as a treat and ice cube container portioning is genius!!! Thank you lady!!
haha thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful! 😊
Although it’s unfortunate that you don’t have as nearly as much subscribers or views that you deserve, I sincerely hope you keep making videos regardless.
I enjoy your content/editing and the fact that you’re green cheek conure specific (because I’m getting one soon) makes me feel super invested in your videos!
I hope you don’t stop making videos!
I normally make tiny batches of chopped veggies and keep it in the fridge for a couple days then add the legumes, grains, sprouts and seeds separately - it does mean that their isn’t as much variety but for some reason Archie hates frozen/thawed foods -
Thats great, fresh chop is the best chop! 😊 My birds love fresh chop and will also eat thawed chop too! I normally make their chop fresh every few days when I have time and will freeze a batch that lasts for a month so I can switch it up the next month
girl! this is the best chop for birds video I've ever seen! :D
I see u everywhere! U really Like watching Bird vids😂
hehe thank you! ❤️
My country the food processors are CRAZY expensive as they have import tax on them AND they only have one brand in the department store in the city. So you saying 'if you don't have one it's time to get on' is not an option for many people, as not everyone has enough money to buy an expensive food processor...I don't! :(. The ones made here break easily and can't chop up the vegetables properly....so... I have to chop everything by hand...its so annoying...and messy! They also have import tax on flax seeds and lentils, in fact I can't find lentils anywhere except the internet and they are crazy expensive for a tiny bag, bruh!
First comment ✌🏻🥰
Finally you made a video about birds chop
Sooo helpful
Haha yes! Thanks so much for watching and let me know what else you’d like to see! 😊
I've been really frustrated that my chop, especially of fruits and veggies, tends to be mushy like a smoothie. Now my baby's a little vitamin A deficient, so I got a vitamin supplement and am trying to introduce chopped carrots. Wish us luck lol
i recommend to hand cut the juicy watery veggies and put the other in the food proccesr
i got my lovebird like 3 days ago its kinda hard giving it fresh veggies and keep it away from to much seeds. atleast it likes dried fruits and veggies
Try not to be tough on yourself.
Vegetables are expensive and for those of us who can't get out and/ or afford to buy much it's difficult.
My first chop I got overly ambitious with the PULSE setting on my new food processor. I ended up with a slush ~ even though I used almost a full bag of carrots. I didn't add fruit.
Should have because I ate some to see if I should give it to my cockatiel.
She liked it the first day. I was thrilled.
Not so much the next day.
I was so happy and hopefull.
Happy because I figured out the food processor. Hopeful because my little cockatiel needs to regain her health.
It was an epic fail.
I'm going to try again.
I hope you do, too and that your parrot starts getting stronger soon. Thank-You.
💕.
@@dg.262 did you come up with a solution?
Watching this video in 2023 with a new baby conure and it’s been the greatest help. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge so we can be better humans for our babies ❤️
You’re so helpful! I really hope more people start finding your channel!
Oh, I didn't realize birds would eat thawed out frozen chop. That would save me from so much wastage. 😅
I absolutely agree. Dang, I've wasted so much. At least I do compost. :)
I just wanna say the recipe that you shared with me has been a lifesaver I have been using it a few days now and I've been seeing a drastic change in my birds behaviour thank you
Can I just say: Thank you for this🙏🏻I am kind of new with my budgies since they came to me after my mom died. I have always thought that bird chop is so hard and expensive make, but when you said that you can also stop here after all the veggies, it just made the whole thing feel a little less intimidating😍🥰
how long can bird chop stay frozen in the freezer ? Great vid btw!!
thanks so much! 💕 it can be kept in the freezer for 2-3 months max! i like keeping mine in the freezer for up to one month. i feel like the longer you keep it in the freezer, the more the texture will change when its thawed
@@FlyingFids ty!
I have a question can birds have quinoa uncooked?
Do you cook vegetables before putting it in a food processor
Also how many times should you feed your bird per day
nice recipe for birds😊
Love the video ☺️ cute birds be cute doggy too 🤗 so sweet when he watching the birds 😍
thank YOU THIS REALLY HELPED
Great video, Won! 😊 Admittedly I've been lazy with my chop and this video has inspired me!
Thank so much and so happy it inspired you! 🥰
@@FlyingFids omg lol I’m literally making some chop right now
Beautifully explained and great recipe thanks so much🎉🎉🎉
Please make a video on how to get your birds to be interested in chop!
I love making chop and looking at all the nutritious foods my bird will be consuming but nobody talks about how gross they look once its been in the freezer and looks lumpy when defrosted hahaha! anyone else experience this? I incorporated purple cabbage into my chop and it stained all the other grains and legumes haha now the birdchop looks blue and purple and gross. I guess birds should still be able to tell it apart but it just LOSES its colour once refrigerated and looks less juicy
Just wanted to say thank you! Valuable information!!! I didn't know how but now definitely will do it for my birds which I love so much!!! They saved me from depression = saved my life 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m taking care of a Turkish dove, a mockingbird and now I have my cockatiel… can they all eat a chop like this??
Hey!! thanks for the video!!! I use my rice cooker for almost everything i eat.. hahaha do you think it would be possible to mix the grains and the legumes and cook it together... like quinoa, rice and lentils? then i can freeze portions and thaw when i want to serve, right?? thanks
thanks so much for watching! rice cookers are the best haha! hmm I think the lentils may still be a bit hard if you cook it with the grains because it needs more water to cook so I'd cook it separately just to be safe!
Hi!
*I'm conflicted*
Can someone give me ideas? I've tried almost anything to try and make my lovebirds eat veggies and things that are good for them. I've tried cooking them, chopping them or mixing them with grains, done different bird chop recipes and they're just WAY TOO PICKY ToT. The male will try a bit and not eat at all, and the female will do whatever to get ONLY the grains, and drop all of the veggies. I know how important it is for them to get a healthy diet but they just won't eat :c
The only thing they've not been picky with is mango and I know as a fruit it has a lot of sugar and not enough nutrients for them
Does anyone know what I could do?
Thank you! Could you speak slower a little bit, please? Thank you.
How often should I feed my bird cockatoo chop?
😊I was also try my parrot is eating this everyday on the morning thanks for this video is helping my parrot to eat veggies and fruits ❤
for my bird(a cockatiel), the way you make the chop and how she sees me make it is definitely a key factor into whether she will eat it or not. when i first started making her chop, she ONLY liked greens like lettuce and kale(but i added peppers and cauliflower and other veggies so she could have more variety to the chop), so i made the chop with her so that she could see how i made it, and i would eat and offer her a sample before putting an ingredient in the blender(or food processor). i also sprinkled in some millet and her regular pellets to her first serving in front of her so that it would entice her to eat it more, and she LOVED it. i did the same thing for her next few servings and then just stopped, and she loves it and eats all of it every time! i’m definitely going to make a bunch of chop that will last a couple months and store it in the freezer in an ice cube tray though.
About how much chop do you feed your bird in the morning?
What if we dont freeze ? Can we save this diet in fridge in normal airtight container and can serve them regularly upto 7 days ? Is it fine ? Is the food will remain fresh and fine till 6-7 days ?
One of your birds that’s blue and green and it’s a boy is a copy of my but he died.
Just a question: isn't the amount of naturally-occuring sugars in sweet potatoes and carrots and the like too much for parrots? I could be wrong, but I was just curious
I know pumpkin is a female but pineapple is a male??? I’mstill confused
Bird chops turn soggy after a few days in the fridge. My birds wont touch them.
Hi, great video! My cockatiel is new to chop. What is the best way to get eating chop as she has been on seeds all this time.
Thank you
So fruit should be giving like 2 days in a week or can it be giving like every mornings???
Fruits should only be an occasional treat (unless it's a Toucan, Lorikeet or other fruit-eating bird).
Chop in the morning and chop in the afternoon? Or pellets in afternoon? Plsss need answer
This is so expensive and exhausting 😭 my parents will never do this
If you give that banded spider plant more light and water it will be very happy ❤
I watched this and I loved it and when I asked my mom too do it she said no cuz her last bird got sick from eating fresh food cuz of bacteria but you washed it realy good and my mom still says no all he eats is seeds and pellets I want him too have more variety and she’s only had one or two birds far apart in her life and she said that well he doesn’t chew on his road perches or he doesn’t even like the happy hut the only thing she agreed with was the dowl perches and the sand perches
hi I’m getting a green cheek tomorrow and I’m not sure if it could eat powered food it’s like powder mixed with water (idk if that makes any sense but it can’t fly yet) I was told that it cold eat it and I should feed it apples as a snack
My bird won't each vegi chop or fruit chop I have to cut ot with a knife lmao 🤣
How Ur dog isn't attacking ur birds i've a dog and a bird too but my dog wiIl eat my bird
how many times a day do you feed them chop, and do you just give pellets while they arent eating it?
Your recipe for chop sems amazing! I live your videos ! Your so great your one of my favorite bird tubers !
How long does it last frozen? has anyone tried this?
My bird only eats newspaper from his cage or millets and sprouts how can I start to make him eat this
HOW DOES YOUR DOG NOT EAT YOUR BIRDS! good boi
Sorry if I seem weird but I totally thought u cook the bird
Wish my birds would eat their chop
how long does it last in the freezer ty
How long does it last in the freezer?
Your dog is so cute waiting for scraps. God love them ♥
did you do anything else to the the spinach other than washing it?
Girl you rock! Been looking at a variety of bird videos and came across yours. Definitely the most useful, great information. See you have a dog. How about a video on how you acclimated your birds with your dog. I have a conure 3 year old and recently purchased a cairn terrier and am worried about best approach to getting them comfortable with each other. Thanks.
Why is this exactly like Elleandbirds
Thank you for this video! I like to change up my birds chop every 6 months and you gave me some great ideas. Love the ice cube idea also.
Hi ! I have two conures like you and they love their new food ! Thanks to you they are happier !❤👍
Why aren’t you posting new vids I do not see the new videos on my screen and it has been 2 week
Will conures eat dried mealworms?
I ordered the cage and all the stuff before I get my birds. You channel is extremely helpful! Thank you!
The Blop sounds effects gave me a headache
does this work for lovebirds as well?
I’m worried my bird won’t eat it 😅
Can budgies eat this chop?
Omg that ice cube idea is so smart, I NEED TO DO THAT!!!
Yesss but then how u vive it to the birds? You out it in the microwave? Or let it defrost ?? Thanks if you know
The ice cube container is a greet tip
Thanks
Was the yellow squash raw?
Please speak slower and cut out that annoying sound effect! You have great information but it’s hard to catch it all when you speak so fast!
She is slow when she talks.
Thank you ".......
of course! thanks so much for watching! 💕
Do you cook the sweet potato
What is the best way to convince your bird to try veggies? My sunconure's 13 years old and she almost never will try the vegetables we offer her. I want to start feeding her better that just her main seed diet she's had since I got her as an almost teenager, but she is still to this day vegetables picky and likes to tell me the green ones are not ripe. She loves to steal food from me and will eat most of the fruit I've offered her over the years, but vegetables she just avoids. I've been offering them to her since the year she turned one. How do I get this picky bird to try some, so I can mix up her diet a little more, so she has a healthy amount of variety?
Well if you use a food processor she can't be picky
Thank you! Iv been watching so many videos on birdchop but moste ones has been for bigger birds or ppl who has a whole lot of then. So seeing you freeze it and how u do it was so calming to see haha.
Maby not calming but it answerd AL cuestions I had about freezing birdchop
ngl chop is a great idea for other animals.
Pretty sure my lizard would like it >>
just gotta find my processer somewhere....
Underrated.
Most ppls birds won't eat that, mine definitely wouldn't there very fussy fids but I was wasting so much vet till I happened across 1 tip that changed the whole game for my flock, steam and partly cook the rutt vegetables and brocoli and colliflower and chop them in , ..
Loved this!
thanks so much for watching!
One question, how long can I keep the bird chop inside the fridge after defrosting? I'm following your advice of using an ice tray, but it takes like four meals for my birds to eat that. I don't have sense of smell so I don't know if I can serve it the next 1-2 days or if it gets spoiled .
Seems like refrigerating the extra would be just as good as freezing it. Plus you don't have to deal with thawing.
What brand or size of food processor should I get?
And where can I buy some?
Chop in the morning and chop in the afternoon? Or pellets in afternoon? Plsss need answer
I've been following this recipe for my conures for a while now. Thank you 💚I make up a batch of lentils and quinoa seperate from the other ingredients and freeze those in ice-cube trays and then I mix all the other chop ingredients together in my food processor and freeze those in ice cube trays. I pop one of each cube in a container in the fridge every night and they are thawed by the morning. I squish them up in their food bowl and they both absolutely love it. I feel good about their diet and that they are getting all of the nutrients necessary to live a healthy and happy life. I've had them both for 13 years so they are doing so well. I also feed them Vetafarm Maintenance pellets and B-Calm pellets as well and take them for a vet check up with an Avian vet once a year.
Do you have quantities of how much you use? (Grains, legumes and even how much of each veggie) we are getting out first green cheek and want to make chop but don’t know where to start
Could I feed this to my cockatiel?
and would he be safe for it?
yes it is safe for any bird!
@@gabriellaschmitt5536 Oh okay, THANK you~!
My first bird chop ended up being a green puree with white rice.
I wish I had some pita bread. I have enough for months.
Now, I have to try to get more fresh vegys...somehow.
Won, I highly recommend the food processor we both have.
Of course, there's the issue of me becoming completely honest with myself that the different blades are a bit intimidating to me. I'm about 60 years older than you, so I don't have as much time to figure out the correct side of the blade to use. 🔪
I am going to give Chop another try ~ my tiel deseves more than a bunch of greens, yellows and orange food on a dish.
Cuz I luvz her 🍃💕🐦
Thanks for this video. It's been the most. helpful one that I have seen & it's good to know that I can freeze the "green pureed" stuff for my golden years. It can be placed in my cooler and I can hide my 6 pack of my fav cold beverage🍹 beneath the gallons of chop and all of this can be transferred with me to my long term residential community.
I will try again. 😊
Thank you
Another question: for the ice cube molds, is one cube a fit serving for a single parrot? a.k.a, can i give my parrot a single cube of this and it would be a sufficient meal?
I love this and your birds but full disclosure, I am totally in love with your dog! 🥰
I made bird chop for my bird too, but he just is not interested. He sometimes won't even eat his fresh veggies, I don't know if you still post to this channel or not but I really need some help on how to get my bird interested in eating his bird chop.
For my budgies I normally make a moist mix and add in uncooked grains, seeds, and ligaments, (such as flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, brown rice, wild rice, peas, lentils, quinoa ect.) to soak up any extra moisture than feed that fresh for a week than change it up, I have them use foraging bowls for there Harrison's pellets and give millet and black sunflower seeds as treats
Thank you so much that was very helpful👍❤️
Those little birds eat very well. That’s a lot of ingredients in the chop. I think I’d break it down and start with a base and add different veggies and grains daily. My Senegal eats very well and enjoys a varied fresh chop daily.
My birds are really fussy and refuse to eat pellets I always mix them in with their food and they end up getting thrown out by the birds-
