Haven't posted in a while, but that doesn't mean life has stopped. I have started a new relationship,  moved, started a new job, left that job and am starting ANOTHER new job,  rehomed two birds (my tiels) back to the original owner of one of the tiels (they are much happier there, though I miss them). But in the mean time, bird toys have been made, foraging toys made and filled and then destroyed, lots of food cooked and eaten (and cleaned off the walls).

Some destructable foraging toys:

Foot toys:

 My caiques went through a "foot toys are boring" phase, which happily seems to be passing.

Kitchen sink bird bread (meaning everything but the kitchen sink, lol). Started with a mixture of oat, chickpea and coconut flour, 1 egg, a sprinkle of aluminum free baking powder.  Added three (organic) baby food packages: peach, sweet potato-and-apricot, and prune). Then added chopped almonds and walnuts, chopped frozen blueberries, chopped baby kale, cocnut flakes, chia seeds, and the leftover crumbly bits from the Unpellet Mix I put in my birds' foraging toys. 

My first grain bake: Barley, cooked with cherries, applesauce, coconut oil and flaxseed, with some quinoa macaroni noodles and frozen peas and corn thrown in for fun. Seasoned with cinnamon, ginger and crushed red pepper. Baked in a dish with lots of water till cooked!

Carrot, broccoli, mustard greens, okra, parsley, golden beets and tops, fresno red peppers, cooked butternut squash,zucchini, yellow bell pepper, purple cauliflower, rutabegas, garlic. Some organic, some not.

All mixed up!

Should last me awhile!
