how can i cook a turkey on the oven for thanksgiving?
I was taught not to give my parrot anything meant for humans in the cereal lineI do give him fruit, apples, bananas, also potatoes, baked, especially sweet potatoesBut sometimes the additives in cereal can cause feather picking in birds and you don't want that.
Well first of all cockatiels are not fruit eaters so it may be hard to get them to eat this stuffI personally do not feed my bird cerial of any kindI keep them on seed and fruit pellets made for parakeets and finch with lots of millet sprayThey love it and it doesn't mess up their systemsIf you want them to eat that type of grains, try feeding them whole wheat or muti grain breadsThey will eat the breads alot faster then anything you place in a bowl for them.
Maestro's mom is right about using the Reynolds turkey size cooking bagsThe directions are in the boxBasically all you do is thaw your turkey and take out the neck and gibletsRinse turkey out well and pat dryRub salt into the cavity and toss a couple of stalks of celery and an onion cut into piecesShake a couple of tbsp flour in the cooking bag and then put the turkey in itPour into the cavity a can or two of chicken brothThis will result in more liquid for dressing, gravy, leftovers after the turkey is doneThen use the twist tie to tie up the bagCut a couple of slits in the top and cook per package directionsNo basting, no tenting with aluminum foilIf there is no pop up timer in the turkey, you will need to use a meat thermometer toward the end of cooking time to make sure the internal temperature of the meat is correct.
A good quality Cockatiel food is the best for them.
