Veggie scraps

Post by PsyBirdy » Thu May 02, 2013 10:49 am

I have 15 zebras. I've gotten into the habbit of giving them a handfull of wahtever I am chopping for dinner.

I think their absolute favorite is when I chop the top off a red pepper and place it stem down in the cage. I will try to get a photo ... how many little birds can you fit around a red pepper? Depends if they are in 1 or 2 layers! LOL

Having a variety of greens is a really healthy addition to their diet. Sounds like you're doing great! My parrotfinches really love the pepper core too, with all the seeds. I chop pepper up daily with at least one green veg. (Rotating Swiss chard, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts carrot etc)
