Toni Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 EARLY BIRD BREAD RECIPE *2- packages of corn bread mix (not sweetened corn muffin mix!) *frozen vegetable of choice (chopped fresh, or rinsed canned are both OK *frozen fruit of choice (chopped fresh, or unsweetened canned are both OK) *hulled raw unsalted sunflower seeds (available at bulk food stores near snacks) *raisins *hulled raw millet seed (available at bulk food stores near cereal section) *fruit juice (orange, apple, etc.) (using more than one kind is OK) *eggs (1 more than packages call for) Preheat oven following bread mix instructions. Grease 7" x 10" cake pan. Follow instructions on package for number of eggs used, then add one more egg. Substitute fruit juices for milk required by mix. Add approximately 1/2 cup of hulled sunflower seeds, and approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup each of frozen veggie and frozen fruit. Add handful of raisins. Mix all ingredients together well. Pour into heavily greased 9"x 13" cake pan. Sprinkle small handful of hulled millet seeds over top. Bake until cake pulls away from sides of pan and is golden brown on top (it should be hard on top, but not burned.) Let cool completely, then cut into small (1") cubes. Place cubes and any crumbled pieces in a plastic bag or container, and freeze. To use, just remove one or two cubes and thaw, then crumble up into bird's dish. Vitamins or wheatgrass powder can be sprinkled over the cooled, baked cake. For one bird, this should last several weeks. Use as a treat to supplement the regular diet. In emergencies, this can be served in place of regular food. I found this on the internet but I plan on trying it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest briansmum Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 this one's pretty simple and i'm sure a lot of you make it already. birdie omlette. (no proper measuremens i just guess) 1 egg peas (i use sugarsnap peas shelled) sweetcorn cournals green pepper diced carrot diced harrisons pellet fine (or any kind of tiny seeds) pretty simple really, beat the egg, throw everything in, i use a wide shallow dish, pour it in and microwave for a couple of minutes until the egg cooks solid in a "round" shape, you could fry in a little olive oil and pat dry, but in the microwave you dont need the oil. obviously you can then vary it with different veggies, or cook the veggies first so they're softer. maybe even try fruit. the great thing about this is it's really quick.

kiwibarb12 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I have ground up pellets in a coffee grinder, moistened with apple juice, and microwaved until warm, then added baby food(jar) of sweet potato. sprinkled with sesame seed and she was in heaven. She even ate some of the pellet mixture - I know because her poop was brown, not green.:sick: Is a sneaky way of getting her to eat pellets.

nevjoe Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Very good kiwibarb12. A good idea, wish I thought of it when hand feeding Hemingway. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Good thinking Barbara, there is more than one way to skin a cat if you know what I mean. That idea may help some others with the same problem of getting their grey to eat their pellets. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
