Birdy Bread/Egg food mix
Posted: Sun Sep 09, 2012 7:14 pm
So I made my first ever what started out as birdy bread lol but it crumbles up so well I might make it into a powder and serve it with regular hard boiled egg and add to the nutrition! Also to anyone who has never made bird bread before... WARNING: It smells TERRIBLE!! I had every window and the screen door open in my house and I still had to fight the urge not to gag.
I want to try it a few more times and see just how much I can get away with putting into it. Next time I am going to try adding some dried fruits/veggies and maybe a jard of baby food or some honey that I saw other members put in their egg food.
Here's the recipe:
10 eggs, shell and all
1 cup steel cut oats
1 cup cornbread mix
1 cup 6 grain cereal
2 tsp of powdered kelp
1 tsp of hearty bird
and some extra hatched brand of eggshell just for some extra calcium.
I mixed everything together and baked it in the over for around 40 minutes at 400 degrees. Once it cooled I crumbled it up and baked it for another 30 minutes at 300 degrees to dry it out a little bit more. Once that was cooled I crumbled it down to even smaller pieces and served it to the birds. The verdict was....... APPROVED! Everyone loved it, especially the canaries. All I have to say is thank god I made a huge batch so it will hopefully last me awhile so I can keep that horrid smell away for a bit longer lol.
Ingredients used First time out of the oven Second time out of the oven Once it cooled I just crushed it up smaller with my hands and served!
