June 9, 201014 yr I cut the full beetroots in half and slide 2 or 3 onto a metal skewer which hooks on the side of the cage's wire and then other end goes over a natural branch perch. I also cut some up into pieces for the birds who prefer to eat off the goround. The bits on the skewers always get hammered and go first.
June 9, 201014 yr so if i go in a store and buy raw beetroots and give it as i get it will it be fine ???

June 9, 201014 yr so if i go in a store and buy raw beetroots and give it as i get it will it be fine ??? Hi Shannon... Yep that's what I do.....not the canned stuff, the fresh stuff from the fruit and veg shop, just wash the skin and chop in quarters.......

June 10, 201014 yr Author okay thank you know i fell i safe to feed to my birds Just dont feed it just before a show
June 10, 201014 yr I had been using the tim stuff in their soft feed i never even thought about using the fresh stuff probably because we always buy the tim stuff for ourselves. I guess i'm going shopping tomorrow. Beetroot is one of my birds favourites.
