Pye-Wacket's Pantry
A well-stocked pantry is the beginning to a well fed, and hence happy, set of Feathers. The following are ALWAYS at hand in the Whitewings kitchen, and I heartily recommend them to you as well.
White and brown rice
A selection of Noodles and pastas
A selection of hulled natural grains from the health food store
VERY Hot salsa
Fat free refried beans
Stewed tomatoes (low or no salt added)
Chunk Pineapple in natural juice
Various organic baby veggies and fruits (some strained, some 'junior' style)
Various pure fruit and veggie drinks (no sugar or salt added, if possible)
Curry Powder
Powdered Cinnamon
Fresh and Granulated Garlic
Crushed Red Chile Peppers
Chinese Hot Mustard
Cumin
Ginger, fresh and powdered
Ground Mustard
Cloves
Chile Powder
Nutmeg
Italian Seasoning
Tabasco Sauce
Molasses
Natural Honey
Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
With the above condiments in the cupboard, any purchased bean or rice mix can be turned into an epicurean delight. From hot and spicy to sweet and sour, it's all right there for you to make eating a real joy for your feathered companion.
Salad Tip:
When making a fresh chopped veggie salad, toss it with a dressing made of vinegar and salsa, add a generous helping of one or two hulled grains, and then turn in the cooked bean, rice or noodle mixture. You will find you have provided a nourishing, interesting, and attractive meal for your bird.
