I'll start...
For Jack, it's any kind of bread product.
For Maynard, it's apple slices.
For Zaf, it's dried banana chips.
For Salsa, it's popcorn.
Please tells us which treat your parrot goes crazy for?
:p91:
Humm, I would have to say it's a toss up between Pistachios and pine nuts.

Most of mine go nuts for a nutriberry. It's the treat I use to let them know it's time to go back into their cage.
Willy, my Eclectus loves his walnut piece.
Mookie,(Senegal) and Oliver(alexandrine) both love their almonds in the shell.
Although, now when I think about it....a little piece of turkey or pizza crust gets everybody going too.

I make birdie bread with egg, cornmeal, whole grain flour, and veggies. They love it when it is still warm.

Can you share your recipe? I am looking for a quick birdie bread recipe.

Some of our birds have different favorites
One loves pizza crust
Several love berries
Most enjoy mixed nuts..cashew,macadamia,walnuts,almonds etc
Peanuts in shell are a big hit for most
Banana for some
The occasional bit of turkey,chicken or beef ...but very rare do any get that.
Banana bread
Scrambled eggs
Lots of birds...lots of individual favourites

I will, Helena. I usually make quite a bit a freeze it. It is easily thawed and warmed. If you warm it in the oven it gives it a crispy texture that they enjoy as well. I will pull it out and post.:th_smile:

If you ask Rosie she will say APPLE!?!? She does love apple but she equally loves pizza crust, pine nuts and pistachio nuts. All of which she calls apple. :)

Nash loves the very basic nutriberries! He loves some green peppers too but he goes bonkers when he sees that green bag come out that's filled with his nutriberries!!

I reward my parrot with a mango or banana slice, when he is at his best behavior.*

Casper used to love Nutriberries. I don't know if they changed the recipe but the last time we bought two tubs he wouldn't eat them and we have given one of the tubs away.

Hmm, I'm a bit suspicious that everyone else's birds favourite treat is something that is good for them. The whole idea of a treat is that it is something that you're not really supposed to have.
We put Casper's food in two bowls - one for dry stuff like harrison's, nuts and nutriberries etc and the other for fresh fruit and veggies. He lifts everything he wants to eat in the fruit'n'veg bowl over to his other bowl. We could never predict or get right what are his preferred fruits and veggies on any given day. He is not keen on veggies. :)

Pat loves cake too!
Be sure Pat doesn't get any chocolate cake though. And I'm figuring no frosting either.
