I have made birdie bread out of corn muffin mix before. Is this safe?
I mix the corn bread mix in a bowl with some baby food vegetable and baby food fruit....I then add some raisin, nuts and regular vegetables..If I need more liquid I add baby juice. Oh and an egg, shell and all...
Is this a safe recipe...the birds love it. Let me know what you think. :20:
 
sure, sounds great! i have used corn bread mix as well, 1/2 mix for birds other 1/2 for us!

Then everybody and everybirdie wins...LOL

I love your avatar....such a beautiful bird....:)
 
Napoleon my tiel loves it, if he smells it he will come flying from wherever to eat it.
 
Can you give me more information on the exact recipe? How much of each ingredient? Is it cooked in a muffin pan or cookie sheet? For how long/what temp? Thank you!

Here is how I make mine.....
two boxes of the Jiffy corn muffin mix, dump it in a bowl
Add an egg, shell and all. I try to break the shell up as much as possible
I then add a jar of baby food fruit and baby food vegetable. Just the small jars
If it needs more liquid you can add some water but I usually add some 100% juice. Again from the baby food section
Then you can add whatever you want from there. I usually add a bag of mixed frozen veggies (no salt added) a handful of nuts, maybe some raisins and a handful of birdseed. Sometimes I leave out the birdseed. The birds love it best when I use fresh veggies.
I guess not all birds like it but mine love it. They all purr when they eat it.
I usually cook it for about a half hour on 350 degrees but keep an eye on it. It all depends on how thick you make it. I use a 8X8 pan
I cut it into squares but I think next time I will try using a muffin pan.
 
Kitt, I made some just like yours a while back, and my bird loved it! I cubed it all up, and keep it in the freezer. My two little dogs beg for a piece when Rio gets some, they like it too! lol

aww, I'm glad they like it....it is good to have happy birdies. LOL
 
The first time i made birdie bread the recipe called for millet seed, So i made up a big pan of it and i pulled it out of the oven and put it on the stove to cool off, i come back 20mins later and find my brother tryed to eat it and got a mouthful of the seed lol.
