Corn of the stick.

 

Got this Idea from a member in the club.

Timber base with a three inch nail for the corn to sit on.

Birds love them. I replace the cob twice a week.

Look at the flights.

 

The dish contains fresh vegetables - Carrot, Celery, Mung beans and snow pea sprouts.

nursery get it too

Cute!!!! I wish i had time to give my birds such healthy looking treats all the time! they are lucky to get it twice a week :hap:

Great setup, very close to mine :D, but i put my corn on a plate instead hehehe. I like the way you have your water on a pot plant stand... is that to help keep the seed out of the water?? I have mine elevated on a brick (away from the seed), but the seed still makes it's way into the water some how :glare:

Yes the stand for the water keep it off the ground. Keeps a lot of seed and rubbish out.

very interesting ideas, this is raw corn?

yes raw corn on the cob. I get three large ones for just under $2au still with the husks on. Those where put in on Saturday and I'll change them on Wednesday.

ohhh Daz Thanks Mate there is nothing worse then when I need to cut the corn up in halves so it sits okay .... My Babies love Corn Raw i think is better ( After being washed of course) and Now they will be able to get it all : ) ....

 

Thanks for sharing your idea .... I know I will be using it : )

I've nearly lost fingers trying to cut corn on the cob in half!!! Now they get the whole thing on their hanging table!

Here in india we get cron on the cob only in some reasons and not always. Also once we remove the husk from the raw corn on the cob, hardly for say around 4 hours to half a day only it stays tender/soft.....after which it will become hard, may be due to the local climatic conditions. Any ideas or suggestions on this.

 

Also during other seasons when corn on cob is unavailable, can we serve the raw cracked pop cron?

I'm not sure how to keep the corn fresh it will go "hard" but the birds should eat most of it by then. If it dries out and not spoils the birds will eat on the hard cob. Mine do.

Great idea Daz going to make some for my flights. Keep flowing thoughs good ideas in. ;)

Anyone else Have good ideas ..... Daz ..... keep them coming I am saving them (Laughing out loud)

A corn cob in my aviary lasts all of five minutes....so I generally have to put about 5 full cobs in the aviary and two in the kindie cage :)

:hap: I did have a post on veggie kabobs but cannot find it, my birds and foster pets are eating much better vegetable and fruit wise than me!!! Looks very good Daz!!! :hap:

I think we are all in that same boat Phoebe I know mine eat better then me too (Laughing out loud) .

I think mine are better kept than most Olympic athleats.

Is dried hard corn cob will not be too hard to Budgie beaks and they can crack it is it?

 

Also could you please provide me with some ideas on how we can introduce corn on cob to my Budgies.

I've used corn on cob for my junior cage and in the aviary... we can also get it frozen on cob in raw form.. mine LOVE it. I didn't know how long to keep it out though, so I removed daily... good to know I can keep it in for a few days.
