Parrot Biscuits........"incorporated"

[chickabee]

Lets have some fun guys and also we might just come up with a saleable idea ;D ;D

Parrot Biscuits


yes we now all know about the issue at hand with the doggy biscuits...
sooooooooooo lets come up with our own parrot ones
this is all a bit of fun but I also hope that just maybe
we might be able to really make these things….who knows

What we need to look at:

1. CONTENTS
2. BINDING AGENTS
3. CONSISTENCY
4. PLIABILITY
5. TASTE
6. SHAPES
7. SIZE
8. EXPERIMENTERS
9. NAME
10. PROMOTION


Let’s break these points down:

CONTENTS:
Yep this is a simple one but remember that Consistency & Pliability will play a part here.

BINDING AGENTS:
I was thinking of gelatin, what’s your thoughts

CONSISTENACY & PLIABILITY:
Thing to think of here is how chunky & how hard etc

TASTE:
Yummmmm…..say no more

SHAPES & SIZE:
Not too worried about shape just yet, but size…yes.

EXPERIMENTERS:
Have you got some time to make a batch, show of hands please
I’m pitching in for sure, this will be fun…..thanx Bill I can see your hand waving

NAME:
I think we will all go to town here, we are a creative bunch

PROMOTION:
LOL…I just stuck this in for laughs but, well…you never know

quarter of a cup of kelp meal (heaps of advantages )
2 eggs shells and all

bill

[chickabee]

never thought of this after I just looked at my list, ok gelatin might be OK for a non bake one but can we use flour and eggs?

[fischer]

I think so, lots of people feed thier birds Madeira Cake, I'm not much of a cook, but I would imagine this cake would contain flour and eggs

[ollie]

What about some honey or apple sauce for flavour!

[ollie]

I'll have a go at the baking too if you can tell me where to get the calcite, workforce and kelp.

[billspets]

2 cups of either whole grain or muti grain flour
quarter of a cup of calcite (calcim)
quarter of a cup of workforce ( omega 2 & 3 )
quarter of a cup of kelp meal (heaps of advantages )
2 eggs shells and all
tea spoone of honey (for taste)
table spoone of apple sause or grated apple (for taste )
water to make a wet doe consistancy
bake at 180 degrees c for 20 min

any other sergestions

calcite is calsiam helth store shoould have it
workforce and kelp meal you can get from a feed and grain store

A bit to much calcium there Bill and to heavy on the kelp..and far to much workforce..I think you better tone these down a lot...You will be doing a lot more harm then good there...(((You are already using the egg shells)))


I already make parrot biscuits and sell them at market stalls...

Ok one hit..instead of water..fruit juices....((no sugar))...Make shore that the bisuits are baked hard..you dont wont them going moldly..

Thats it from me....

[Smiley]

Ok since you guys want a recipie..here is an old one of mine...

Apple Cinnamon crunch

1Minced large apple
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup of oatmeal
1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour/or multigrain flour
1/8-cup sesame seeds
1tlb spoon kelp
1tlb spoon apple cider vinegar
¼ cup of honey (the real stuff)
½ cup orange juice (no sugar)
1 eggshell and all


Adjust the size of your biscuits based on how big or small you want them. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and flip each cookie to brown evenly on both sides. Turn the oven temperature down to 180 °C. Return to oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Let cool. Makes about 3 dozen crunchy cookies, depending on how big you make them.

You can also use minced carrots as well...Any kind of fruit or vegetables can be used..it's a good way for them to eat there veges if they dont already...I find the bigger birds eat them...You can also try ground almonds..Have a play around...The birds want mind sampling them

[billspets]

Parrot biscuits


1 cup of toasted muesli
1 cup of whole grain or multy grain flour
1 tbsp of calcite
1 tbsp of kelp
1tbsp of workforce or LSA (Linseed, sunflower & almond meal)

1 egg shell and all
I grated apple
Water or apple sauce to make a wet doe mix

Bake for 20 min on 200 degrees c

[billspets]

[chickabee]

thanx Bill......50/50 sounds not bad, will keep you posted
Cheers Debs

[lovemytiels]

Hi Bill & Deb, just a suggestion but what about adding some ground up hazelnut, brazil nut, pumpkin seeds, Seasme seeds & even ground up walnuts as they will provide a complete protein to the biscuits & they are the good oils too. Not sure how nuch but 1 to 2 tablespoons should be fine. Cheers Anna
