Basic Birdie Bread
Ingredients:
1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
3 tablespoons cornmeal
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 small jar-baby food sweet potatoes
3 eggs
1/2 cup apple juice
2 eggshells, finely ground to a powder
OR scrape cuttlebone with a
knife about 1 teaspoon
Directions:
Prepare muffin mix as directed on package. Add the 2 additional eggs and all of the remaining ingredients. Mix well until peanut butter is dissolved. Pour into a greased 8x8 inch square pan. Bake at 325 for 25-30 minutes. Cut into 1 inch squares and wrap rows of pieces in plastic wrap. Put all rows of pieces in one large bag. Defrost one piece as needed.
To the basic birdie bread recipe listed below I also have added an additional 1/2 cup of veggies and up to 1 & 1/2 cups of seeds or pellets and the bread still comes out fine. You just have to experiment and see what your birds will like. If you don't have juice I have also used V-8 tomato as a substitute.
