Kya's Birdie Bread
- 2 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 3 tbsp Baking Powder
- 2 eggs
- 4 jars baby food (carrots, sweet potatoes, squash..any that are high in vitamin A)
- 3/4 cup Chunky Peanut Butter
- 1 cup dry Baby Cereal (whatever flavor has lowest % of iron) I use Rice Flavored
- 1 cup Bird Pellets, I use parakeet sized but any size will do
- 1 1/2 cup Shredded Zucchinni
- Mix all ingredients in large bowl.
- Batter will be hard to mix as it is thick and no extra liquid is added.
- If it's too thick you could use a few tablespoons of water, but it's not usually necessary.
- Spread into a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake in a 400F oven for 35-40 minutes or until set.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Cut into small servings and put into 1 week batches into freezer bags.
- Freeze what your not going to use right away.
- As you need more pull a bag out of the freezer and let it defrost in the fridge overnight.
- To serve..use straight from fridge, or let warm up to room temp.
- This bread is not meant to be a mainstay diet for your bird.
- Use this bread as a TREAT!
- A helpful tip.. any size bird pellets would work, I use the small ones because I had a varied size of birds in my flock and I wanted a bread that even the small birds could eat.
- If you don't want to use pellets omit the pellets and add an additonal cup of baby cereal.
- I got the original recipe idea from Bobbi Brinker on the Birds N Way website 14 years ago.
- I adapted this recipe to my birds taste.
- Kya is my African Grey Parrot and this is her favorite Birdie Bread recipe.
