Jasper (6yr old Solomon Island Eclectus Parrot)
I spent 5 hours cooking 3 big batches of dinners for Jasper yesterday! He has about 9 or 10 ingredients in each, and it should last about 4 months.

After I finished up I let him come over and sample. He promptly went bowl-to-bowl trying all of them :D

And I just realized I should buy a food processor...I've been doing it this entire time with a small handheld chopper. Next time I'll invest to help save some time/my hands hehe

I was going to add Brussels Sprouts as well but ran out of room in the bowls, so he'll get that in his breakfast next week!
 
He sure has lots to choose from and keep him interested in his dinner!
 
And, each and every bowl was Jasper approved no less! Must have been a Seventh Heaven thing for Jasper - Its Mine, All Mine!
 
Sweet dishes, Katie! With a well-varied list of ingredients. Most impressive! Jasper is one lucky ekkie!
 
I'm hungry! ;)

I'd love a sample... well, maybe a bit of butter and salt, but... sign ME up!

And may I remark: you and your bird are just beautiful. Gorgeous and loving portrait.
 
Looks yummy! Tell Jasper the food was hand-crafted and slow-cooked, all the marketing buzzwords to increase his appreciation of your efforts!
 
I have a couple questions. I have a SI female who is almost 5 months. Shes still a little picky with food. How much do you offer and at what times? Please and thank you ☺️

Breakfast: ~9am (adjust to your schedule)
- All raw vegetables + some fruit
- 3/4 cup (mind you this is 3/4 full of the cup in his cage, I'm not sure what it actually converts to)

Dinner: ~6:30pm (adjust to your schedule)
- Example of food is at the beginning of this thread
- 3 or 4 heaping tablespoons + some fruit

Treats (when we're doing training, or just whenever)

"Snacky Time" ~9pm
- 1 tablespoon of seed mix

If I notice he's eating more/less I'll adjust slightly but otherwise this is what he always gets. I've noticed at different times of the year he seems to consume a bit more so I'll give him more.

Hope that helps :)
 
When you make these meals do you cook the peppers ,carrots and do I peel the zuccini?

I used to cook everything, but I realized why am I doing this when I'm going to microwave his dinners anyway? So I only cook what *has* to be cooked (beans, lentils, rice, etc).

So no to cooking the peppers/carrots/zucchini. And yes, I peel the zucchini.
