 and hatchlings. My name is Marlene McCohen. And I'm Tracy Gamnitty. And we wanna welcome you to Parrot Chop Chef. Today, we are going to make a very special chop for the birds and we're calling it cauliflower chop. It's got a mix of a lot of different vegetables and a lot of greens and I'm really excited about it. And obviously my bird brando is too. And after we're done making it for the birds, we're gonna do a little twist and make it fun for everyone. I noticed you put a, is this for me? Am I also gonna be chopping? I'm excited. Today, we're taking a big risk on Parrot Chop Chef. We're giving Marlene her own cutting board and knife. Yes. Stay tuned to see if she chops a finger off. I have my own cut over there. Put it, okay. All right. I'm already nervous. Don't swing knives around. Are you talking to yourself? About myself to them. Today we have broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, already riced, zucchini, carrots, ginger, cilantro, basil, and dill. And we have a lot of cauliflower today because I'm very hungry. What do we do first? Why don't you put the cauliflower rice into the bowl? Okay, again, with my big jobs. Yeah, mom. Ooh, that's fun. Marlene is already on the cauliflower rice. Jersey has sliced the carrot. Whoa, what is this? You're gonna chop some spinach. I don't know why all I saw right there was a snow globe. You chop spinach, I'll chop broccoli. Okay, what? Define chop, okay, so. What do you mean define chop? I'm chopping, I'm parrot, chop, top chef. I'm parrot, top, chop, chef. I'm the top parrot, chop, chef. I'm the top parrot, chef. Marlene, watch your fingers, Marlene. You make me so happy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, okay, let's me show you. Let's, let's me show you. Knife, hand, hand, overnight. That doesn't chop anything. That's good, you know. You see this motion? Okay, look at this motion without the hand. I'll see this, I'll be good. Are you sure? Yeah, you're making it very hard for me. We don't have a medic. I do think my finger was almost under there. Yeah, you can't, like, you can't. It's good, it's good. I think we're losing another pair. So they might not eat our chop because they might already gonna be full. All right. Ooh, you did such an un-chopped one just to experience. Yours looks beautiful too. Yeah, I think I did a great job. This is a little big, but, okay, do I just put this in here? Yeah. I'm now putting the spinach in here. You know, Merlin loves spinach. Obviously, he loves it. Where is Merlin? Down there. He's looking for garbage. You can also put this in while you do that. I'm gonna get a spoon. You know, we really should have all our utensils prepared here, Tracy. Well, we did. Mine's the spinach. Wow. Oh, wow. Okay. I hear from Vinny. The reason Vinny's not on this show is because he'd go a little wild. I'm going to chop the zucchini. I don't see a fine chop there. This doesn't end here. There's more to go. Chop it up. Chop, chop. It's good about like having a difference in color. Is then they know exactly what it is they like. So for example, they might not notice that in here is zucchini and broccoli and some other things that you've put in here. If they like the carrot, they know how to find it again. Anyways, you can do ginger. You can slice it and you can grate it. But you want to take the skin off. What am I supposed to do with this? Just do a small part of the grater. Yeah. Finally, not so finely. You're going to use the finely part. You're going to grate it. And where's it going to go over this? Unlike this game. Are you okay? Yeah. Of all the times I thought you were going to grate yourself. I told you I'm good with a knife, a grater, no. What about the cilantro? Because I know some people are really sensitive to certain herbs. Like Jenna, certain green herbs. I think it is cilantro actually. I think she's like, not only allergic to it, but like she just is like appalled by it as well. So what do you do in that circumstance? You swap it out for another herb. You could use oregano, tarragon. Not like in cilantro is actually very common. This is ready. We just have to mix it, serve it to the birds and then cook it for us. Okay. Get to mixing and I'll serve some to the birds. So it's like vegetable fried rice, but with cauliflower rice. Cauliflower rice has no taste unless you cook it with things and then it pulls the taste out of it into the cauliflower rice. So you will need a little more oil than you would normally use for something. You're very, that's a lot. Is that not a lot of oil or is it normal? With birds you never want to use anything that is teflon or non-stick. And you basically cook this for a while. How long exactly? Maybe a good 10, 15 minutes. I'll be back. You can keep adding more oil if you want. If you're not into oil, you can use butter. That's totally fine. Avocado oil, olive oil. I prefer honestly to use avocado oil when I'm cooking for myself. Because there are birds who want to make sure we're not using any kind of avocado oil. Are you ready for the taste test? Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited because I'm hungry. It's good. I like it. Try not to eat for a second. I know it's hard because it's so good. Okay guys, I just want to reiterate and go over what we've done. We have basically taken a lot of fresh green zucchini, spinach, broccoli. We've also added carrots. We've mixed it up with some herbs and that was our chop for our carrots. And now we've turned it into this fried rice for us which is amazing and I love it. You can also share this with your birds as well. But what's great about this whole process is that you can share all of these meals with your birds and you know that you're giving them some real raw vegetables and some dark leafy greens. And then, I mean, who wants to have to cook twice, right? So that's why we're doing this this way. All right guys, if you want to see us make something special, comment below and we'll get right to it. Will we though? We'll try. Love you guys so much. Enjoy.
