INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

  • Pre-Heat oven to 400.
  • Place muffin mix, oatmeal, and baking powder in large bowl and set aside.
  • Wash whole eggs thoroughly and place in blender (shells and all.) Add baby food, applesauce, and wheat germ, and puree.
  • Pour blended puree into your bowl of dry ingredients and stir with a large spoon. Stir in peanut butter, cheese, grated carrots, and broccoli (if you have a fussy bird, you can puree these items in the blender in step 3.).
  • Spread mixture in a lightly greased 9 x 13" pan and sprinkle the seed (or nuts) over the top or make mini muffins.
  • Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes. (Time may vary, especially for muffins.) Let cool and cut into squares that are the size of a daily portion for your bird and freeze accordingly.
  • Defrost daily portions in the microwave before feeding. Depending on your bird, either crumble the birdie bread into their bowl (especially smaller birds) or give them talon size chunks (bigger birds) or each a mini muffin.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with the ingredients. The recipe is very forgiving. Instead of baby food, I sometimes substitute frozen mixed vegetables, a can of pumpkin, mashed bananas, or mashed sweet potatoes.
  • Instead of oatmeal, I often use baby rice cereal.
