I've seen several recipes using dried beans, soaked overnight, cooked and added to soft food. What variety do people use?

 

If I remember right from nutritional studies for humans, the dark red kidney beans have the most protein? I didn't see them today, so I bought black beans.

 

(I don't cook for myself, but I'm going to for my budgies. What does that tell you?)

Hi A hard boiled egg chopped up with the shell will supply all the protein your bird needs.

Why do things the hard way?....B.J.

I'm just trying to give them a healthy variety.

Hi, okay if you must feed beans...

 

POTS OF PROTEIN

 

 

A recipe that is very useful if your birds need a boost of extra protein, or use it as part of a healthy diet. You will need some Soya beans.

 

(1) Soak a quantity of beans, in the ratio of. 1 cupful in 4 cupfuls of water for 24 hrs.

 

(2) Next day, boil the beans in fresh water & keep them on a low boil for 20 min.

 

(3) Strain, mash & mix with bread/biscuit or dry egg food & serve.

 

The boiling removes the toxin (Trypsin) found in beans...... B. J.
