Today I make a nice snack for the birdies.
Soon I’m going on vacation, my sister move into my house to take care for the birds. What a luxury huh I did not been on vacation for three years because I did not know how to take care for the birds. This is the ideal solution

Apple, mash thawed from the freezer, hemp seed, buckwheat seed, mulberry berries and bee pollen.

Last week I made some foraging toys for the birds.
Boxes filled with paper, plastic, toys, pellets and a muffin wrapper, filled with a delicious nut.

Kiko popped in and inspect if everything went well.

Closed boxes and a tie-rip through it, so I put them on the living tree or cage. That’s a lot more fun than when the box is not tethered

Hassle…

Apologies for the lack of blogs but my life is a bit on its head.
I will be without work this month because my boss stop publishing – I’m busy applying for jobs, but also physically ill from the stress because it does hurt to lose my job…

Meanwhile the birds get their fresh fruit and vegetables of course.
Luckily I had some mash and cooking mixes in the freezer in stock and enough fresh home made pellets, so they are not short. But the pictures are not that spectacular

You see, macaroni mix and beans mix with fresh sprouts and a wedge of tangerine.

I promise soon be able to post daily if the daily hectic reduce.

Winter Purslane nibbles

While I was making the pellets # 9 I forgot to add winter purslane. But now I have made some delicious nibbles from it

winter Purslane
honey
banana
apple
mixed nuts

Put everything in the blender and grind to paste, smear on a dehydrator sheet and dry it simultaneously with the pellets. After 2 hours drying I make with a knife a block motif in the paste and when finnish, I lossened the nibbles.
