What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

In order to sneak some vitamins and minerals into my parrots' diets I had to get creative.  I make a small box of cornbread with an extra egg and the shells crushed into it and add about a 1/3 cup of vitamin/mineral pellets and then some frozen mixed veggies.  I bake it longer than the mix calls for to bake out some of the added moisture then cut into one inch squares.  Each parrot gets a square daily along with their fresh seeds and water.  I don't remember where I first heard of doing something similar but they love it.  Whoever inherits them will be needing the recipe.

Fortified hardtack, kinda, got it. 

Do you give them rib bones instead of cuttlebones?

They get neither...the egg shells give them the calcium.

Both love French fries and I think the African Grey has some Italian in her as she loves any kind of pasta. She like grits too. We really haven't found much of anything we eat that they won't eat. They just turn their beaks up at any parrot food that isn't just seed.
