We do the same as Jopyfull, but with peelings as well some times and they love it. Its also a good way to get poulty spice in them as well

It's a tonic to give them a boost when moulting. You don't give it to them every day

They love cooked porridge. Give it to them while it's still warm. Have some yourself

I give it to mine late afternoon before they turn in for the night

I give mine pellets with hot water mixed in and they love it.

amazing how changing the texture makes them think it's something different
