Building up to our Tasty Tuesday I thought I would share this awesome video Ashlyn did about how she is using BIRD BREAD to get her blue and gold macaw to eat both VEGGIES and PELLETS! 

Our pellets are available online within the USA only. Here is the original recipe Ashlyn is referencing. If you have a bird bread recipe you use, please share it in the comments for others to try!

Birdie Bread Recipe

This is the recipe I use to get my picky eater, Tango, to eat his veggies. Birdtricks had the original recipe (https://birdtricksstore.com/blogs/birdtricks-blog/healthy-birdie-bread-recipe-from-birdtricks) then I tweaked it over time to fit my fids needs. Please make sure, before making any diet changes, that you get a scale to monitor your bird's weight - you don't want to accidentally deprive or indulge your bird with new foods! The scale I use is found here: https://birdtricksstore.com/products/gram-scale Also, I am not associated with Birdtricks other than being a happy client who has had amazing results. If you have actual training questions, please contact them or another trainer you know and trust to answer those for you. While I love my birds, I'm no trainer :) 1 cup BirdTricks Organic Parrot Pellets (turn to powder in blender or you can substitute with 1 cup of BirdTricks Birdie Bread Mix)  1 cup Roudybush Pellets (turn into powder or keep whole)  1/2 cup Whole wheat flour  1 cup Rolled Oats 1/2 cup Granola ( I used 1/4 each of Kinds - Cinnamon Oat Clusters & Oats & Honey Clusters - the amount of granola can be reduced as your bird begins to convert as there is a lot of sugar in this) 3 TBSP Ground Flaxseed 3 TBSP Chia Seeds 1/2 tsp Baking Soda 3 TBSP Cinnamon (Optional) 2 TBSP Chopped Walnuts (Optional) Mix dry ingredients all together.  In another bowl blend: 2/3 Banana  1/2 cup Almond Milk  2 Eggs Mix together dry and wet ingredients then mix in assorted vegetables of your choice. Several cups or less if your bird is resistant to veggies then increase with each batch.  Put mixture in a baking dish. Bake @ 400 degrees for 1 - 1 1/2 hours depending on thickness of the bread.

I started making birdie bread for the wild birds who winter over. I use pumpkin and fruit pureed. Instead of the pellets I double the rolled oats. Also for added calcium I blend in the egg shells. Chopped walnuts, almonds, and crunchy peanut butter with some sweet peppers. When the feeders get low there's 2 woodpeckers who come to my kitchen window and start tapping away to get me to bring out some more. The chickadees surround me as I load up some more bread for them. I've had a couple impatient and brave little chickadees land on my head or hands! They LOVE BIRDIE BREAD!!!
