BAKING DIRECTIONS

• 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) high quality organic vegetable oil or Palmgloss, 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.
