- Hey everyone, Jamieleigh here from BirdTricks,
along with my daughter, Capri and CGTeen.
- Hi.
- Thank you guys all for being here.
We're gonna be making a diet suitable
for green-cheeked conures including
their little conure Miku.
So as you can see,
we are gonna be making my seasonal feeding system,
one of the recipes,
and we're gonna show you all the antics
of putting it together.
So if you want that recipe, head over to birdtricks.com
and check it out in my cookbook set.
Let's get started.
(bright upbeat music)
(camera beeps)
- Okay. - What?
- You gotta let me in the comments. (all giggling)
- [Camera Person 1] Do you need me to come over there
and do this for you?
(camera beeps) - I wanna watch.
- Doesn't it say like 11 carrots or something?
(camera beeps) - No, it was not 11 carrots.
(camera beeps)
- It'll be fine.
(camera beeps) - It's not fine.
- It's all good. It's all good.
(camera beeps) - Okay.
You guys don't look like you know what you're doing?
- No, not at all.
- So the first job is to start chopping.
Chop all the ingredients. - Everything?
- Except for the sprouts. Chop it all.
- Wow, that's a lot.
- Ready go. (laughs)
- Put the peas in there.
- Okay.
- I chop.
- Chop, chop.
- Just chill. - Wait
- This is frickin annoying.
- All right. - Here we go.
- Here, now I'll cut the broccoli.
- And we are going to use pretty much all parts,
except for the parts that you wouldn't personally eat.
So like cut the butts off the carrots.
We're not gonna use those. - Okay.
- And same thing with this. - Here give me the carrots.
- You're gonna cut,
both ends off.
Good job.
- You know what, I'm doing this first.
- And you're gonna cut things small enough
to fit nicely in the food processor.
(bright upbeat music)
- Moral support, how can I help?
Wow. You're doing really great.
(bright upbeat music)
- So Annelise, we're not gonna food process with the sprouts
because it'll just make'em mushy.
We're gonna add them in to the whole batch at the very end.
But you can food process the other ones.
Like the little microgreens, you can do that.
(bright upbeat music)
- You're on a bowl.
- Oh, we should totally do.
(laughing)
- Look at you.
(bright upbeat music)
- Let's fill it.
- So then you guys would just want like,
- Let's get one.
- that clingy wrappy stuff that can go over it, right?
- Yeah.
- We can probably get rid of them.
- [Camera Person 2] Cling wrap.
- Cause we won't use them anymore
- Cling wrap
- Let's try and wrap, clean, wrap.
- He's so cute.
- We're being so helpful.
- But it's so small.
I mean, this is so small compared to how big that bowl is.
- No, but it'll be funny though.
The granola bowl is pretty.
- What are you guys doing with the granola bowl?
You don't have that much more to go, oh my gosh.
- Yeah.
- Oh, it's actually good we did this
because it's not really mixed very well.
This will help mix, really thoroughly.
How's the food processing going?
We're almost done.
- Just waiting for all the scooping to finish (laughing)
so I can keep going.
- Annelise, take a bite. (laughs)
- Take a bite. - I would actually do it.
- Take a bite.
- It's gonna be so. - It can't be that bad.
- Yes, how is it?
(food processor whirring)
(laughing)
- It looked fun.
- Please don't poop. (laughing)
- Yay, hey Rach, do you see how this looks like millet,
the quinoa?
So it really helps entice tiny birds.
- The bird's not gonna eat that.
Rachel, you're really bad at food processing.
- Whoa, this is not stuff that I processed.
- I think if there's one chunk that doesn't make it,
it's okay.
- No, I pulled out like four, so far.
- Okay, so four chunks that don't make it, it's okay.
We have enough for 12 years.
- Don't keep putting her.
- Well she can stay eating it.
- What if she doesn't wanna be in there.
- There you go.
That's the way.
- Is that good?
- Did she go right for the quinoa?
(food processor whirring)
- It's okay, here.
Here.
It's okay.
(food processor whirring)
- Is that scary?
No?
- That's so much food.
- Did you notice Rachel,
how she's not doing spooked flights?
- Yeah. - That's true.
- She's just hanging out during all the chaos.
- Which is really, really good now.
- Yeah.
- He's busy scaring toucans.
- This looks really good.
You guys did a good job.
- Yuck.
- So normally at home,
this takes us at least six hours
because we quadruple the recipe,
for our own birds. - We do a whole ice chest.
- We fill up an entire ice chest,
- Oh my god! - with this food,
for our birds.
- That is insane
- Yeah, so you guys being like, "This is so much food!"
We're like, "Whew, this was easy."
- [Camera Person 1] Y'all should take home some.
- Oh my gosh, I would love that.
So that's what I'm gonna ask.
How do you want to do it?
Cause some people with small birds like this
they'll actually do it in ice trays.
And then they'll put
like Saran wrap or something around ice trays.
They'll do it. - We have like two.
- [Camera Person 1] We do have couple ice trays
that we never use.
- Because those bags you'd probably only wanna fill
about the bottom quarter of it.
- Okay.
- So I don't know if you guys will feel like you're
wasting all your bags.
- [Camera Person 1] Okay, I have to pause.
- I'd be more worried
- to change out my battery. - about wasting the food
then the bags.
- So how do you guys wanna store this?
Do you wanna do the ice tray thing?
Do you wanna do the quarter of the bottom of the baggie?
What, how do you want to store it?
(bright upbeat music)
- I know.
- Okay, so why don't you do
a little poke with the sharp end.
(bright upbeat music)
- That would be cute. (laughing)
- Please choose everyone's and then ours can be.
- [Camera Person 1] You guys are finally done.
I don't want to make it sound like an art though.
- That was easier than I thought.
- All right, I'm really proud of you guys,
and it wasn't as hard as they thought.
We did a half batch.
So all of this for this one cute, very loved,
little bird of our seasonal feeding system.
So please tell them. Please tell them, it wasn't that hard.
- It wasn't hard and she had a blast.
She loved it so much.
I think she's gonna have a really good time eating this.
- Yes, she's been eating a couple times.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- So everybody, can be feeding their bird, this healthy.
I promise you guys.
It's not that difficult and just
because it's healthy food doesn't mean they won't like it.
So this was easy peasy.
As you can see, she still hasn't left the counter.
So please feed your bird healthy.
Thank you guys for watching.
