Birdie Bread

Earlier this week I decided to make some bird bread for the first time. I thought the process would be a good thing to share here.

First the ingredients have to be gathered of course:











**NOTE: I would normally not feed canned veggies. In this instance I was out of frozen. If you use canned be sure to rinse well.**



I used two cups of corn meal but it all depends on how big of a batch of birdie bread you want to make.



**NOTE: This is white corn meal. To my knowledge it's just as good as regular yellow corn meal but I'm no expert.**

Now, as I've stated in this blog already I have recently started Caesar on new pellets. It's only been the past couple days that he has decided they are edible. So I had to be sneaky about adding them into the bird bread.



TADA! One of the best inventions ever.



I also processed the well rinsed veggies since Caesar will pick out chunks of things he doesn't like and toss them. I actually process all of his fresh food.

Add water to corn meal and crushed pellets.



Stir.



Add egg.



Add destroyed veggies.



Batter.



**Note: I followed the cornbread directions on the back of the corn meal package but the batter was too soupy. I added more corn meal and it all turned out ok.**

Ready for the oven. I also added some cinnamon and chili powder, but you can add whatever it is your bird likes best or no seasoning at all.



Finished product.



After they cooled I offered Caesar one and he loved it. My Quaker at half of one and he is a very picky bird. I refrigerated them for a couple days and Caesar has eaten about three of them. I've since put them in the freezer. I use these as a treat not his main diet. Tomorrow I'm going to be making a batch of mash. I'll get pictures and share that process as well.
