Boil brown rice quite fast, unlike cooking rice for humans. This way the rice is crunchy in the middle. You can supplement or exchange any of the veggies with fresh veggies like chopped broccoli, grated carrots, green beans, eggplant, squashes, partially cooked sweet potatoes, fresh corn on the cob, apple, etc. Use your imagination.
I use this amount every four days because I have alot of birds. If you only have one or two, mix up the same way only don't thaw the frozen veggies. Put amounts equal to two days of servings in plastic bags and freeze.

Remove from heat and add frozen corn and peas to your preference, usually about 1 cup of corn and 1/2 cup of peas will do, but your bird may enjoy more or less of these veggies. Let stand a while as the frozen vegetables cook a bit, probably about 10 or 15 minutes.
*Chop carrots, apples, oranges, sweet potatoes, peppers (red), broccoli, squash, and other vegetable that is handy and fresh (corn on the cob, peas from the garden, etc.), into bird bite sized pieces.
