When I was little, we used to tie a loop of yarn to the top of a pine cone, then coat it with peanut butter then roll it in birdseed and hang it outside. Very easy craft to do with kids. :D

I will definitely hop on this bandwagon! I make a wide variety of treats for the bestest-best horse in the world, Sam, my Trakehner gelding. As soon as I head out to the grocery, I'll be sure to pick up the ingredients to make all of his favorites. (What's more? Almost all of my horse treats are perfectly safe -- and tasty!-- for human consumption!)

doggy tacos

take a favorite dry biscuit and crumb in a food processor

add peanut butter and mix until you get a dough like consistancy

use wax paper to flatten balls of dough into tortilla shapes, I make mine about 1/4 and inch thick

allow them to setup in the fridge for atleast an hour, the crumb moistens and the peanut butter stifens making a nice cookie texture

use a cheese grater to shred red and/or green apple ontop

and top with DOG SAFE chocolate, my dogs prefer melted chocolate, but I've done shredded and chopped before

then just roll em up and give them to pup

Note: I have large dogs so I make my treats taco sized, but when I have my moms chiuahuas over I make mini versions, I suggest doing the same with a small dog that way they get a bite of everything as they eat

I make dog and cat biscuits

flat bread dough (google it hehee)

flax seed meal 1 1/2 cup (most important to be ground up! they cant digest flax seed when its hole and they dont get the nutrients when there hole)

and chicken broth

instead of adding water to the dough i do the chicken broth

i generaly make batchs of 10 and make up to 50 cookies freeze in groups of ten and refrigerate a bag of ten

i make small balls then smoosh flat and bake to desired crispness my dogs like really crunchy cookies so i generally burn them a tiny bit :P i have never paid attention as to what i set the oven at i just contently check them :P

ugh ingore the above mess x.x i forgot alot of things and misjudged the cups of things x.x use this instead http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2350794/

sorry x.x

Oh GAWD misleading title!! I thought you were talking about eating "our animal friends" 0.0 you may wanna fix that a lil

I tried cooking a veggie pasta for my parrot once. Just some plain noodles and some peas, carrots, corn, beans and broccoli. Gave him something to figure out.

:D I have a parrot. I make things for her all the time when I'm at home. I'll share some of her favourites.

I take some pasta [anything you have on hand. Most commonly, I use macaroni] and boil it. Cut up some lettuce, carrots, and a few pieces of apple for sweetness and put them together in a bowl. Add some wholesale unroasted, unsalted sunflower seeds to the food dish, place the veggies and fruit on top, and a few pieces of the macaroni as well. It's like a feast to parrots.

Most parrots also are super fond of half a boiled corn cob. c: My bird will literally try to grab at it as I'm approaching the cage. She LOVES corn on the cob. XD
