cooking for your bird…recipe’s?

Ok, my family flock has grown quite big as we are planning on 2 new additions. Zuess is a redwing macaw and Kaida is a triton cockatoo. both will be joining our family next week. Peachy and Cheeky will be the older sisters and they are both cockatiels. They are all on a zupreme pellet diet with a small amount of mixed seed. I know it is going to get very expensive keeping them feed with their fresh vegetables and fruits, etc. So, I’m hoping I can once every 2 weeks or at the beginning of each month precook a batch of food and freeze it for the month. I would like to put together a recipe that ALL of my birds can share. does anyone have a good recipe?
oops I meant zuess is a greenwing macaw lol. But, he is soooo red!! lol

How often do you feed your parrots?

I fill my bird’s food dishes up to the top every morning. I have two African Grey Parrots. They pick at it and eat on it all day. They throw half of it out. My question is: Do you leave food out for parrots all day? Or do you pick the food up and give it to them on a schedule? If so, how often should I feed them? They are sooooooo messy with their food. They are on a pellet diet and that is what I have trouble with. I also switch out fruits and veggies and I will make them eggs, pasta, rice, etc. but they gobble that stuff up. It is the pellet food they like to play with and make a mess out of.
Oh, it also makes cleaning thier cage a mess. They poop all of the time and everywhere.

Bird Feed…?

Many people have told me my birds need to be on a pellet diet. I know they are full of vitamins and all that jazz…but I feed mine seed. That is what they would find in the wild…I also provide fresh fruits and vegetables regularly. My birds are living healthily and happily. I just don’t see what the big deal is about pellets. Can someone please explain?
