Jenni's Turn

Well, I see that a few birds have been at my computer. That figures. Scout is terrific at peeling off buttons from the keyboard on the laptop. It's always the HOME key.

Today we had a first! Recently I made a batch of frozen (no sugar added) blueberries and strawberries. I boiled them together and it made a sort of fruit salad. Then I refroze the concoction in little, single-serve bags for the birds. Scout didn't seem to like the mix today but Dizzy sure did! Or as Jason told her, "See what happens when you try new things?!" You see, Dear Reader, Scout is ALWAYS willing to try new things. Whether he likes it or not is a different story haha. But Dizzy? She doesn't like to try new things. She either runs away from them or just flat out looks at you like you've lost your mind!

Got back from the store not too long ago. I bought 2 large jars of baby food: Gerber's green beans and rice. What I am planning to do tomorrow is to use the green beans (Scout's absolute favorite!) and some frozen green beans and make a green bean corn bread. Jason recommended a bird-safe green bean casserole with unsalted saltines (instead of French fried onions). I might try that too! There's plenty of green beans and rice to go for both recipes. I also started soaking some pinto beans for overnight. I read that parrots like beans and eat them heartily. Since Scout is freshly weaned (but absolutely hates his pellets), I'm going to play around with some cooked beans and see what I can do with it.

Well, I should get going to bed. It's after 4 a.m. and I need to be up in a few hours!

LATER!
