Many budgie owners find it hard to get enough vegetables into their budgies' diet. Here I have made a salad for Kipper and Kiddles and they loved it! So, I thought I may share it with you. I didn't just get veggies, clean them and put them in, I did it in a way so that the birds will eat all of it and not leave bits out. Anyway, here is the recipe.
INGREDENTS:
Broccoli
Cucumber
Apple
Carrot
Spinach
You can add in extras if you want, but I didn't have much veggies in the fridge, so I didn't use much.
MATERIALS:
Knives
Bowl
Budgie food cup
Cutting board
Grater
METHOD:
1. Gather all of your ingredients and wash them thoughly. Also make sure they are fresh and that budgies can eat them. Please DO NOT use avocados, chocolate or alcohol. These are bad for budgies and can make them very sick.
2. Get your broccoli and scrape the seed type bits off the top. And put them in the bowl. So far, it should be looking a bit like this.
More budgies won't eat the other bit (sorry, don't know what it is called )
So throw it in the bin. Unless, of course, you find it useful for something else.
3. Next, get your carrot and grate the outer skin off. The inside is the bit that you want. When the outer skin is off, start grating the inside into the bowl. It should now start to look a bit like this.
4. Here is the easiest bit of all! Just grab some spinach leaves and rip them up! However, don't put in too many spinach leaves as the result may end up being diareah. Here is what it should look like now.
5. Now we move onto the cucumber. This is the bit which probably is going to take up the most time. To start with, though, chop off the end bit.
Then get the grater and grate all of the skin off. Like this.
Then, chop up the cucumber into cubes. A bit like this.
Throw the outer skin in the bin.
6. Here is the last bit. As a finishing touch, get an apple and chop a slice up into cubes. The rest of it is for you! Unless you have an avairy. By now, it should look a little something like this.
And don't forget to mix it up!
7. Serve!
And your done! Hope your budgies like it!
