Is definitely through their stomaches! I have been cooking for most of the day at my mum's and brought the fruits of my labor home for my fids to sample.They loved the roasted chickpeas, Silk polished a whole serve off then dashed over to the side where I was watching to beg for more (she is really good at convincing me she 'hasn't' had any and is starving ) Biscuit and Ollie really liked the sweet potato puffs that I made, though Pepper was a bit miffed about getting her beak dirty and kept wiping it clean every few minutes. I have put the rest of what I made into the freezer, tomorrow they can try corn meal flan with sweet potato puree, rice medley with organic red currents , then later on maybe try the sweet rice pudding thing that I am having a go at making tomorrow. My freezer is so full of bird food that there is almost no room for human food!
I felt so proud of myself watching the ringies polish off the food I made, the tiels had a bit of the sweet potato puffs which they seemed to like, I have given myself a good pat on the back.
Now if I could only cook that healthy for myself I would be laughing (and skinner too )

Lucky birds!

Sounds like they had quite a feast! I know what you mean about having more food for the fids than you do for yourself. I need to organize the fridge and freezer - I can hardly shut the doors!

My fids are jealous!

Boy ain't that the truth! Prinny loves to eat...

Sounds like some good eating

Ah, there's nothing like fresh cooked goodies to get a birdie going! Katy, would you please share the rice medley and currant receipe? Buster really likes her cooked rice and barley. I think the rice and currants sounds like something she would really love. Buster is so much more enthusiastic about everything these days. I think its because she eats a good, fresh diet. She looks forward to her two meals and its "butts up in the bowl" at our house. Thanks! D.

You are now just realizing this Katey? My guys want to know where theirs is. I lovingly refer to mine as garbage disposals. They eat anything and everything.

Clara Silk makes me laugh the most, you would think she had never ever been fed, the begging she does. She checks out the contents of all the bowls when I change them in the mornings, and she peers into Ollie and Biscuit's bowls just to be sure she isn't missing out.
Bustersbuddy - I will find the link to the rice meddly with red currents, its a variation to a recipe I found the other day. It smells so good that I had to try some myself, its pretty darn tasty. I hope there will be some left for the fids to eat.

My Billy hates me, literally. He tries to attack me most any chance he gets. But, if I have food, I am his best friend!! LOL I can even feed him from a fork or spoon, and Fred won't even do that. He's not nice about it, mind you, and will snatch whatever it is from me or give me evil eyes, but he knows who has the food!

Wait until you get that ekkie home! You think IRNs are pigs...you ain't see NOTHING yet
