The 3 C’s Cookbook: A Fun Look at Parrot's Food Behaviors
Conure casserole:
1 hard biscuit
4 grapes
chicken bone
Drop dry macaw biscuit in dish of fresh water. Squeeze the pulp from the grapes, and eat. Drop grape skin into dish with the biscuit.
Crack a chicken bone, extract marrow. Add to grape skin and biscuit mix.
Steep until biscuit is mushy and has expanded until it nearly covers the dish. Yell and whack it a few times with beak to stir.
Set aside for 48 hours until fermentation sets in. The next step is critical. It’s hard to cook it for 48 hours when they change your water twice a day! Prepare to defend your mixture.
Once fermented, share it with your friends…it’s a party in a birdcage, and everyone’s invited!
Cass’s Carrot and Sour Soup:
A real Amazon dish!
Two baby finger carrots.
Shred methodically into bowl of fresh water. Let sit for 24 hours or until it stinks. In hot weather, fermentation speeds up. Unfortunately, no bird has ever managed to bring this entrée to fruition. This recipe is unfortunately always taken away as soon as our ape-like overlords detect it.
Bare Eyed Cockatoo Stew:
3 Peanuts
Piece of wood from the perch
1 corn cob section (cleaned)
1 chicken wing bone
Extract peanuts from shell. Shred over bowl of fresh water. Peel a strip of wood from perch, place in bowl. Remove all kernels from corn cob section, place cob in bowl. Shred chicken wing bone into water. Let steep until it attracts the attention of the lady who feeds us. At this step, she will dispose of it.
