Bake your bird a healthy treat
Nutritionally complete diets your birds will love
A baking mix, based on Harrison's Bird Foods, which enables owners to bake their bird a healthy, organic, treat.
Indications/Uses • Provides a healthy alternative for bird owners who choose to prepare their own bird food or those who give regular treats to their birds • Can be offered instead of table food to birds that like to eat at family mealtimes • Can be used to assist in converting birds to a formulated diet • Can be hidden as a foraging reward • Can be used as a vehicle for administering liquid medications, or encouraging the bird to eat fruit or vegetables as the fruit/vegetables can be baked into the bread • Provides an easy-to-use transition for hospitalized or boarding birds until acceptance of the appropriate formulated diet • Can be moistened and offered to birds that are feeding chicks as a soft food • Can be used as a weaning food to transition to a formulated diet
Baking Directions For maximum nutrition, use Sunshine Factor (1oz certified organic palm fruit oil) instead of cooking oil when baking. • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). • Combine entire bag of mix with 2 whole organic eggs - no shell (remove yolk for less fat), 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) AVIx Sunshine Factor® or other high quality organic vegetable oil, and 1 cup (235 ml) water. • Fill greased bread pan or muffin tins and bake for 25-35 minutes. • Do not bake in nonstick (PTFE-coated) cookware, as the fumes are toxic to birds.
Serving Suggestions • May make up to 30% of the daily diet. • If prepared with the addition of fruits, vegetables or nuts, Bird Bread should be considered a “treat” and fed only in limited quantities (no more than 10% of the daily food allotment when combined with all other treats). • Can be served warm. • Some flavorings (vanilla, maple) or herbs can be added as long as they do not change the nutritional content.
Storage & Shelf Life Because Bird Bread Mix contains not preservatives, some care is recommended for storage. • If the bag is opened, the top can be zipped closed or rolled down and closed with a chip clip for 4-6 weeks. • Bird Bread can be stored for 1 week in the refrigerator and 1 year in the freezer after baking. • Baked Bird Bread can be divided into portions, wrapped in plastic wrap and placed back in the original Harrison’s Bird Foods bag for storage in the freezer. • Bird Bread should not be reheated in a plastic container.
