What Is Chirp-Cuterie?
Chirp-cuterie is the art of creating a visually appealing bird buffet with safe foods like seeds, fruits, nuts, and veggies. Much like people’s charcuterie boards, it’s about presentation, variety, and fun.
Ideas for your chirp-cuterie board:
-
Fresh apple slices (avoid seeds!)
-
Carrot sticks
-
Sunflower seeds
-
Berries like blueberries or strawberries
-
A shallow dish of clean water
Why It’s Good for Birds
Wild birds thrive on a variety of foods. Creating a buffet encourages natural foraging behaviors and attracts more species to your yard. For pet birds, variety is just as important to keep them stimulated.
