Birdie Recipes





Some of these I got from www.cockatielcottage.net but I have used them and my birds just love them. 

Fruity Birdie Bread

Ingredients:

1 box of carrot cake mix

1 can unsweetened fruit cockatail (reserve juice)

1 can sweet potatoes (reserve juice)

1/3 cup scraped cuttlebone

4 eggs

1/2 cup flaked coconut

1/2 cup raisins (or other dried fruit)

Peanut butter for icing

 

Directions:

Prepare cake mix as directed on package, only substitute juice from fruit cocktail and sweet potatoes for the liquids and add 4 eggs instead of 2 eggs.  Add grated cuttlebone and mix well.  Add chopped sweet potatoes and mix with mixer. Pour onto a greased and flour 9” x 11” baking pan and bake according to package directions while still warm spread a thin layer of peanut butter on top for icing and sprinkle w/ coconut.  Slice when cool and freeze unused pieces.

Birdie Cornbread

Ingredients

2 packages of teays valley cornbread mix (can use jiffy but less surgar in Teays Valley)

1 package of frozen mix vegetables

Fruity zupreem pellets

Directions:

Mix the cornbread as package says to.  Then add into the batter the vegetables, and pellets.  Bake as directed and my birds go crazy for it.



I also feed my birds, corn on the cob as a treat, popcorn (very little )

 

The other thing my  birds love is the bean rice mix, I cook brown rice, and then get the soup beans package cook just the beans and mix both together, you can freeze this as well to keep in stock.
