Whether you’re training your parrot or you simply want to make him happy, nothing works better than a few treats! There are plenty of treats to choose from at the local pet store, but why spend more on processed treats when you can make them yourself at home!

Did you know parrots like pasta? Purchase some thick, whole wheat manicotti tubes. Soften them by boiling them, then stuff them with vegetables and nuts!

Birds like dried fruit too. Purchase some at the store and string them up in the cage. Your bird will love stretching and bending to reach his tasty treats!

You probably don’t know that some birds like smoothies! You can mix all kinds of fruits and vegetables together that will appeal to your feathered friend.

For specific recipes for parrots, plan a visit with your veterinarian Minnetonka, MN.
