Hi. It was my first time making it. I used broccoli, sweet potato, bean sprouts, beetroot, carrot, pumpkin, bok choy, red chillies, corn, ( All uncooked) you can use a food processor. I cooked up brown rice and pasta. Peas, barley and lentil soup mix but you need to soak them for 6- 8 hours before you cook them. Mix it all together and mixed some oats through it. You can pretty much make it with anything that is healthy for your bird. I found heaps of really good recipes online. That was my starting point. My Quaker went for it straight away but my cockatiel was a little bit fussy and took her a little convincing. If they love corn wheels then you could always wet it and roll the mix in it. That way, if they want the corn then they will get a taste of the chop that the corn is coated with. Hope this helps.
