So, my mom was eating this "al natural" healthy trailmix like stuff. And it has no additives, just peanuts, cashews, and then sunflower seed inside/meat, along with dehydrated peach. Well I took some of the peaches and am wondering if there safe for te zebbies? If they are and they like them I'll chop a couple up and add them to my bird bread recipe. Any other healthy treats I can add to it are greatly appreciated!

Just bear in mind anything that is dehydrated tends to loose some it's nutritional value like Vitamin B1, or thiamine, Vitamin B & C and others. This article should help and it is nicely .....

Nutrition of Dried Fruit vs Fresh Fruit

Fresh is always best....Some of the birds might have a tough time with dried...if you try it I would grind it finely.

Alright, I'll read it now. If I do use it, I'll be sure to make it as small as possible. On a previous link you gave me it said pumpkin is a good choice. I'm going to the pumpkin patch soon. Maybe I can add the pumpking meat (not seeds, I heard they're fatty) on the birdie bread for a halloween treat? Tell me what you think.

I may soak the fruit in water. Maybe mash it and mix it with most eggfood?

Or grind it and mix it into eggfood....serve toast (no butter) to!! Breakfast for your fine feathered friends! Yum!

I was litteraly just reading that post about toast and how to make the french toast for birds! Tommorow morning I'll whip up some toast and eggfood for the birds before I leave. Hopefully they'll like it.

dont forget the strawberries...and a vase with an edible flower in it!!!! Bon Appetit!

The strawberries! XD Lol and I am in need of some dandelions. It's starting to get cold, so they're dissapearing.

we don't have dandelions here!

You don't! D: They grow like grass here! They're weeds, but the birds love them. Come spring, since they're gone now, I will fill a box and ship them to you and see if your birds like them. Are you allowed to ship plants?

I'm originally a NY State and ersey girl...dandelions were everywhere, my mom always gave them to the birds...here you can not get them, they do not grow here in Florida.

Come and visit sometime! I went down there once. And yeah, they're mostly envading our gardens, they're more of a pest.

As children we used to get paid for each one we dug up root and all!

Lol! My whole front lawn was covered, litteraly! The maintence man cuts them, and sure enough they're back in a couple days. They look like giant flower fields if nobody stops them
