i was wondering how many times a day your birds get fresh foods. what sort of things do they get at each meal?

right now, i am at 2. or more like 1.5 i guess! sometimes ivy will eat fresh foods in the morning...well, her baby food or mash, that's as fresh as it gets with her! she usually doesn't seem to hungry in the morning, until i break out the mac nuts lol. she usually will have a few bites of mash/baby food at night. i almost always have to give her formula right before bed, though.

My guys are on the constant pellet base, but I do fresh as the first meal of the day. I take them out of the cage and let them play hard on the gyms for a few hours. When they go back to the cages they are good and hungry. Its usually a brunch or lunch. 11ish. Then at night at our dinner time, we share whatever we have with them. Especially pasta meals. I call it "Bloody Worms" and they have a fit getting excited!

Eve gets three fresh meals a day, pellets are inside his cage during nap time and at night.

Morning meals are served warm and consist of a variety of foods, sometimes it's a premade mash. other times it scrambled egg, with veggies and such, and some fruit.

Lunch is more fruit and nuts, or any thing that can turn into a foraging toy.

Dinner is usually warm, and is a combo of whatever is in the fridge and what I am eating.

Its been awhile since I've been on the board, trying to get Dante to eat green has been a challenge. I put lots of Italian parsley in a scrambled egg, he loves it. I only do it once a week,every Sunday. Is to many eggs bad? He likes carrots and sweet potatoes combined. Fruit he's not that big on, has to be in the mood. We enjoy Anise this time of year, he picked some up nibbled alittle, right to the bottom the cage it went.Any suggestions..Thanks

Only thing I can suggest is that food tastes better if served from your plate and not the birds dish.

1 egg should be enough to share with all 3 of your guys, 1x weekly. Leave the shell in and add a lil red pepper flake!

unfortunately, i haven't had much luck there. she usually will just walk over my plate to me to get a snuggle. lol

My Ruby is a good eater and likes eggs or sweet potatoe toast for bkfst and then I give her a dish of fresh veggies and fruit for lunch and then she has what we eat for dinner. She likes it all! I keep pellets and nuts in her cage all the time.

My guys get fresh veggies/fruits in the morning everyday. On my days off I try to cook them something, whether it's eggs, a bean mix or a cooking mix. They always have seed or pellets available to them as well as millet spray. On my work days I don't get home until 10:30 and they are usually sleeping.

All my birds except for the canaries and cardinales get gloop (cooked grains, rices, legumes with corn, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes and/or pumpkin, broccoli or broccoli-rabe and the fruit(s) or veggie(s) and spices that make the flavor of the day), one piece of vegetable, one piece of fruit, one leafy green -different every day of the week- for breakfast (the time depends on the solar schedule -right now is at 8:30am). All of them eat veggies and fruits (the ones that have been with me longer more variety than the new ones, but they all do) but only the little ones and some of the big ones would eat fresh leafy greens although none of them have a problem with eating them cooked. Dinner is a measured portion of seeds and pellets except once a week during the winter months when they get a small piece of birdie bread for dinner (the portions of seeds/pellets are also smaller during the winter to reduce protein intake).
