Worldly Cuisines - African Sunset

I am always looking for different foods to try with my Bitty Birdies. Not only do I think it is important for them to have a quality and varied diet, but I also think it is great as enrichment too! I saw the Worldly Cuisines line by Higgins on My Safe Bird Store and was excited to try one! The Worldly Cuisine line is a cookable line of bird blends that is all natural and additive free (which I love). I chose the African Sunset blend to try first. It was super easy to prepare, just add boiling water and let simmer!
Below is the description and ingredient list.

African Sunset

A taste inspired by the many flavors of Africa including flax, sweet potato, papaya, pineapple, cashews and more all mixed in bed of pre-rinsed quinoa.

Ingredients: Quinoa, Hulled Millet, Cracked Wheat, Pasta, Flaxseed, Chopped Almond, Cashew Pieces, Dehydrated Cranberries, Papaya Granules, Pineapple Granules, Sweet Potato Dices, Cinnamon Powder, Dried Kelp, Tomato, Spinach, Annatto.

While cooking I noticed the blend smelled so good! You can really see and smell the spices! Once cooked, I decided to top it with some crumbled up dry Goldenfeast Hibiscus flowers and some chopped Kale. I offered the Bitty Birdies their dinners and it was a hit!! Opie dove right in! Bonnie & Clyde were a bit more reserved (as usual), but seemed to enjoy it as well! I am very happy with it, and love how easy it was to prepare. I will be trying other blends in the future for sure!

Poor, pathetic, Opie...He just wants friends ;)

Opie is so desperate to make friends with the new Bourkes....they have zero interest in him though...Poor guy. Just had to share ;)

Parrot's Treasure Order!

I just received an order I placed with Parrots Treasure and just had to share! Parrots Treasure toys are pine toys with Pine Nut "treasures" hidden within, making them excellent foraging toys. There are not many size options, so I ordered two small toys for Opie, the "Little Horse", and the "Small Bunny". I LOVE that the "Little Horse" has all of the leather and knots, Opie only really has one other toy with leather on it, so I am excited to see what he thinks of it! Even though I ordered the small toys, I do think they are very big for the littles. They are probably more appropriate for a Conure or up in size, and also since they are all pine, they are nowhere as easy as Opies favorite materials (Balsa and Cork) to chew. Variety is key though to keeping our feathered friends happy so I can't wait to see what he thinks of them!

I also ordered the "Our Pup" for my father's Blue Front Amazon, Azul. They have always had terriers, and it was just too perfect for her! I love the attention to detail on the wood burning, and the little bone that says Bow Wow on it is just too much cuteness for me! The people over at Parrots Treasure were even nice enough to send over 4 foot toys as freebies! Although they are way to big for Opie, I am sure Azul will LOVE them!

If I had a larger bird, I would TOTALLY order their newest design, the Ladybug. It is SOOOO cute! If you have a bigger bird check it out. I will be keeping an eye out to see if they decide to make a smaller or jr version for sure. Also, right now if you spend $50 they are adding the LadyBug free to orders!

Thanks so much Parrots Treasure for the great toys! :)
