I often get asked if you can give people food to your bird. Well the answer is definitely. In fact people food is much better than commercial bird food.
Also your bird loves to share dinner with their human owner. It is a great bonding time. There are a few rules to follow.
Raw food is better than cooked. Fresh fruits and veggies are the best way to go. Try to skip any seasonings, except for a few crushed red pepper flakes. And skip any salt this can hurt your beloved pet.
Dont cook your birds food in non stick pans or stainless steel.
For cooked foods, birds love pasta or rice. Always read up on what could be poisonous to your bird, you don't want to cook anything that can harm them.
If your bird has never eaten people food before, introduce it slowly to them. Let them decide what they like or don't like.
You can find many bird friendly recipes online to.
So happy eating.

Golden Valley Review
Today I received two pkgs of Golden Valley Organic Beef Jerky products.
The company that sent me the products to try and review is Golden Valley Natural. They are specialist in making all natural meat products. The jerky is from animals that do not have artificial growth hormones. And have other natural organic ingredients, so you know right away they are going to be good.
Where to begin? Always a great idea to start with the basics - lean slices of steak smoked to the point of perfection. An instant classic.
The first pkg we tried was their original jerky.
Ingredients:
Beef, Water, Sugar, Soy Sauce (Water, Wheat, Soybeans, Salt), Apple Cider Vinegar, Salt, Paprika, Natural Flavorings, Natural Smoke Flavoring.
My husband loves jerky more then anyone I know, so I trust him to review this product with me. And the verdict is in, it was fantastic. After you try this jerky, you will become a big fan of this company. The jerky was tasty, and tender, and the best part its organic. This makes a great snack for anyone who is looking out for healthy eating. This jerky is more moist than others I have tried. Also worth mentioning:
Gluten Free
Organic beef raised without added hormones and without antibiotics
Beef raised on organic feed
Cattle are never fed animal by-products
No artificial ingredients, no added MSG (Mono sodium Glutamate)
No preservatives, No nitrite, No erythorbate
With the care that goes into making this product, you will want to try it.
Next we tasted the Golden Valley Natural Turkey Jerky Teriyaki.
From free-range turkeys raised without artificial growth hormones
High in protein, low in fat
No artificial ingredients or preservatives; no added MSG
Product of Idaho Falls, Idaho
How great are these. Well really great. Another product from the company that is great for the health conscious eater. I have tried other turkey jerky's and I have to admit this was one of the best I have tasted. Good flavor and great texture as well. Full of rich turkey flavor and just the right amount of spices.
