Making and Feeding Scrambled Eggs to Parrots

Comments (0)

By Michael Sazhin

Wednesday November 17th, 2010

From time to time I will cook scrambled eggs for my parrots. Since I don't eat eggs myself, there is rarely an opportunity to just slip them some from the breakfast table. So on occasions I will put my cast iron pans to good use and cook eggs for my birds.

Basically the eggs that we cook and eat are meant as food for the development of an embryo. This is highly nutritious in protein and vitamins. So naturally if this makes good food and energy for a baby chick, it is fantastic for our parrots (but of course in moderation). I beat the eggs while heating up the cast iron pan. Since I'm cooking the eggs just for my birds, I crush some egg shell into the mix. I crush smaller and larger pieces into the egg and let my parrots decide what they want to eat from it. The egg shells are a rich source of calcium.

My cast iron pans are essentially non-stick after extensive seasoning. I simply spray a bit of cooking spray on the pan and then wipe it back off with a paper towel. This is all it takes for the egg not to stick to the pan. I try to get the pan very hot before pouring so that the egg cooks quickly and doesn't spread all over the pan. After several minutes of cooking and a flip, the scrambled eggs are ready for my parrots to sample. I rip the cooked egg into shreds and toss them into my parrots bowls. I don't wait too long so that the birds can enjoy the eggs warm. Check out this video. Not only does it show how to prepare eggs on a cast iron pan, it also shows how much the parrots enjoy them.
