Merrick’s Parrots is located in Wine Country in the Portland area of stunning Oregon! Our mailing address is Merrick’s Parrots~5321 Twin Falls Creek Road~Morgan Hill, CA 95037 (503) 537-6110 & mobile number is (408) 464-6125. My name is Renee, Nae Nae to my four beautiful grandsons, & my husband is named Alan. We were blessed with a darling grand daughter in November of 2016! Finally, a girl, Indie Mae! We have hand raised with a spoon, too many chicks to count over the last thirty years. It has been a labor of love, we spend much more on the little darlings than they provide to us monetarily. We have a total of 12 pair of parrots! I believe to properly spoon feed & socialize a young parrot, one needs a great deal of patience & a great deal of time. In order to make any money breeding parrots, it is necessary to own 100 + pair of birds & the youngsters from that many parrots can’t be loved by one person only. So, we keep the number of parrots to a minimum & love the Intelligence our parrots demonstrate to us on a daily basis. I believe they compare to a six year old child in intelligence, mischief, tantrums, & love. They just never grow up, similar to many humans I’ve met! Parrots are simply amazing. We feed them Harrison’s High Protein Course~Roudybush medium pellets, sprouted seeds sprouted by Renee, birdie bread baked by Renee, fruits & veggies, various no salt nuts consisting of walnuts, peanuts, raw almonds, all human grade. They all drink from 32 oz Lix-It Bottles, insuring their water stays free of food particles, fresh & clean. Breeding cages for all Macaws are 10′ x 6′ x 6′ walk in aviaries, large enough for them to fly from their perches. Rosie’s African Grey’s & Eclectus live in 6′ x 6′ x 3′ walk in aviaries & they to fly in their cages. add another

Bird Mash Recipe
You can double the recipe if you are dealing with a large number of Parrots!
Red tomatoes. 1.5 medium
Yams. 1 medium
Russet potatoes. 1 medium
Sweet potato. 1 medium
Celery. 2.5 medium SK
Yellow/white corn. .5 bag

Grapes. .5 cup
Wild & whole grain rice. .5 Ib
Apple. 1 red
Sesame seeds. 1/2 sm bag
Dried cranberries. 1 c
Pasta Spinach. 1 Box 1 Ib
- Cook rice & beans, drain & cool. Don’t rinse pasta, great ingredients for the birds! Cube tomatoes, slice celery, frozen corn & peas & add to rice & pasta. Cube & cook yams, sweet potatoes, russets, & carrots so they are still crisp like broccoli not mushy! Add potato mixture to rice mixture & fold gently not breaking pototoes. Add 10 or 11 Tbl spoons to a small plastic bag. Place as many small bags into a gallon sized bag & freeze. One serving is 2-3 Tbl. One small bag lasts approximately 4 days! Good to label your bags. Heat until comfortably warm, add Tropican vitamins from Hagan, Remember, the mixture will spoil quickly, so you need to toss any unused portions out before 4 hours, hot weather less time. Thanks for your patience take good care of your feathered friends.
