My three Hobbits love everything I give them, they are such good eaters  :thumbsup:

I make lots of different recipes for them, from chop/mash to Quinoa surprise.

Dexter loves warm sweet potato and butternut squash in the morning. I mix in some green beans, sugarsnap peas, brussels, greens and anything else I've got handy. He's quite partial to quinoa as well 😄

Tracey if you add some herbs and spices to the mash he may be tempted to eat it again.

Due to the fact that parrots have few taste buds adding stronger flavours to the mash may helps. Hope it works.

once or twice i've made batches of mash (different recipe to the book) and froze protions of it,and i must admit it did look and taste rather bland. jasper loved the first fresh portion but wouldn't touch it after it had been frozen,defrosted,then re-heated.

so when i make some of the chop/mash i'll try adding a few herbs and spices,maybe he'll get to like it again  :thumbsup:
