MAKE PARROT CHOP WITH ME! | how to make bird food 

This channel has made me realize all of my mistakes. Some of them I can fix but some (because I’m a kid) I can’t. I’m constantly trying to make my cockatiels life better with everything in my power. Thank you!!!

I was at the vet the other day with my budgie for the first time since fixing most of the mistakes I made over the years (little cage, two females, plastic toys, all seed diet, never letting them fly, grabbing them etc). It’s only been a year since I switched them to pellets and chop, gave them loads of more natural toys, let them fly every day for a few hours, gotten a bigger cage and slowly started building up their trust with me again. I was terrified of going to the vet because I was so ashamed over how badly I treated my budgies but also because I was afraid they were going to tell me that my little budgie Jazz was in horrible condition. And yet the vet told me she was completely and utterly healthy (especially for such an old budgie she’s almost 9). Her diet was great and her current care was perfect,The shock and happiness literally made me cry. It was the complete opposite of what I expected. I’m glad my budgie is okay despite how bad her care has been and I’m so happy that me improving her care helped her so much. It has been a LONG road of mistakes and even though I just started learning about how to properly take care of them I have always completely and utterly adored my little birds. I love them and hope they live long lives (along with me hopefully continuing to do right by them). I encourage everyone to always evolve their care because care can always be better. It’s so important to grow and learn from your mistakes and do better. It’s never too late to change...And our little friends deserve the best care possible. Just wanted to share!

Chop always makes the best content..because FOOD IS GOOD.

Elle: chop is good for any birds and most birds really love them My budgie: Well, yes but actually no

Wow, what a coincidence. This video was uploaded at the same time that I was making parrot chop for my birds! XD! Also! EAAAAARLYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Dearest Elle- I just wanted to say, thanks. My bird was very nippy, aggressive, and would not eat healthy food. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing worked. As soon as If found out about you, you I started making sense of why my bird was acting the way he was. You're videos showed me where I went wrong, and within a week of me trying the techniques from your channel, I was able to fix all my problems. Now, I am the proud owner of a gentle, eager-to-train, out-going bird, and his diet is the best. I am so thankful to you. Regards

HEY MOM Can I have a bird mix? “No those are for birds” Awh

elle: most birds love chop my budgie: *yeets vegetables all over the place*

My friend once told me my birds cage was “too big” Umm sis no 🤡

I don't use a food processor or blender to make my chop I just chop it with a knife and my birds still love it!

Hey, Elle! Thanks for inspiring me. I made pumpkin spice 🎃 chop yesterday. I thought I'd share the recipe. Pumpkin 🎃 Italian Parsley Cilantro Mustard Greens Collard Greens Spinach Chia Seeds Quinoa Seeds Farro Wild Rice Brown Rice Bell Pepper It has a lot of calcium, vitamin a, c and potassium. Thanks for inspiring us! My cockatiel and green-cheek loved it! Bye!

_I have a cockatiel, Bonito, who only will eat seed as his main diet. I'm now working towards getting him used to eating pellets and vegetables for a varied diet._ This is day one, and today I mixed some chopped zucchini into his seed so that he gets used to the slight taste of vegetables.

Doing a Q&A with your parents would be cool. Get a cool insight into what your childhood was like, what their backgrounds are (amazing veggie garden btw!), what your plans for the future are, etc

sheeeeeesh Elle has SUCH A NICE garden-

Elle, I finally made some chop for my cockatiel and was so excited that she actually liked it! But if she gets a choice, she usually goes for the seeds. I have also noticed that it affects her droppings. They looked like sprouts. Gross, I know. Thanks for the video! *UPDATE: Now I make the chop and spoon it into mini ice cube trays and freeze it. When they're frozen, I put the chop cubes in a zip loc freezer bag. To serve it, I thaw it and smush it up and sprinkle a little seed mix on top and mix it up some more. The seed mix is: black chia seeds, white millet and hemp hearts. I keep the seed mix refrigerated. I also like to add dried bird greens to dry it up a bit. Sometimes I add other things liked chopped up mini bell peppers, Gerber sweet potato baby food, alfalfa sprouts, etc. He gobbles it all up!

The healthiest bird chop from Elle The best bird owner I've ever seen

elle: *gives ducky a plate of chop* ducky's vision: this is to small for a king/queen ( when u got a heart from elle and the birds but lost it because you edited it- the paiiiinnnnn im sorry elle also thanks for 35 likes)

When I get my birds back I’m gonna try to switch them to chop Iv tried giving them veggies but there scared of them So when I get the chance to get them again I’ll give them chop and hopefully they’ll like it Thank you so much for helping me learn about my common mistakes They were out of there cage for an hour a day and I’m switching them to three hours I’ll get better food bowls and water bowls they had plastic which I hated but couldn’t find metal ones at the time I’m getting a bigger cage, there original cage was big but had more height then wide And I’m gonna try getting them there own room

Lets make a salaad for the birbs. Gotta get those greens in there!

My birds took to the chops instantly. It took me a week to get them on pellets. They have incredibly messy faces, but I'm a happy mum. Thanks for breaking this down so well Elle. Love your videos❤

This channel has helped me so much, being a new bird owner and all, so thank you for doing these videos about birds! (love the necklace by the way)

My mom said I can get a bird if I get straight As on my exams. You're videos are so helpful Elle thank you so much!! I hope I get straight As ;-;

Thank you so much for this video, I've always been curious about making chop for my love birds and now I'm currently ordering a food processor. (I used to chop it up by hand and it would take forever).

My bird, Rico, loves his chop with brown rice on top. He looks so happy and cute while eating his chop!

I'll definitely make it for my birds🙃

this helped a lot for me, I really needed to know what i should put in a birds chop. Thanks! ❤️

Elle I love your videos! I’m getting a Quaker parrot in about a week . When I first began researching I conveniently came across you channel. It’s been about two months since then and I’ve learned so much and my bird will have the best life due to your knowledge and recommendations! Don’t stop making videos!😁

I just got a budgie and I’m so thankful for your videos. I bought a seed mix for him at first but now I’m starting him on pellets and plan on making chop and seed sprouts as well. I’ve bought a bigger cage, nice perches and toys and your videos help me so much, because I want him to have the best life. ❤️ sending love from Denmark

Oh! You should do a vid called ," What to expect with your bird" you could talk about what to expect with a certain type of bird ( budgie cockatiel ect_)

Elle talking about the vid: me not paying attention and staring at the amazing cage setup like :o also early gang!!

Don’t mind me watching my favorite RU-vidr Elle and the movie rio at the same time because of my unhealthy bird obsession.

Your videos are always so inspiring to me! It's amazing how young you are yet still have such incredible knowledge of birds! You are my biggest inspiration for making sure my future birds have the best life possible 🤗💗

I came for both on how to do chop and for that fittt, girl you look awesomeeee 😍😍

Bird fact: Mint and cilantro you should feed moderately to birds because they have oils that too much isn't good.

Hi Elle I just got a rosy-faced lovebird a few weeks ago he is finally comfortable with eating right from my hands (sunflower seeds) his name is Cherry he loves to hang upside down he is my first bird right now I'm focusing on him but I'm actually looking forward to getting a Quaker in the future if I get a blue one I'm gonna name it Sky if I get a normal green one the I'm thinking Ivy just love your videos and don't tell kermy but ducky is my favourite

You are just such a great human being, you're so sweet and care about us, people that watch your channel you help out with that they need to hear when they have a bird, you tell people sometimes what they don't wanna hear like how if they're not Suitable you don't say that they should still get one and you care a lot about birds and you're not just doing this to please other people. After watching your channel I'd like one because you taught me things not to do still in I'm willing to give up and switch to and I think I am capable so just thank you.

i love all your videos. you've helped me be a good bird owner. your amazon list helps so much.

Elle: Chop us good for birds and almost all birds love it. My Indian Ringneck: Yeah, maybe MOST birds do, but not me. Me: 😑

Thank you I’m getting a green cheek in 2 weeks!

Elle your backyard is so beautiful.

Omg! I just got a budgie and I had to do months of research and your channel helped me out a lot! Thanks!

You and ur birds are so pretty 🥺

I got my cockatiel from a friend about a week ago. They didn’t want him anymore because of lack of time for him. He’s so special, very cuddly and smart. But a picky eater! I made a big amount of your chop and he LOVES it. He’s been eating it for the last 30 minutes straight. He’s obsessed! Thank you!

Love ur garden !!
