Pumpkin birdie bread
There are two different recipes here. The original by our friend, Rose Essex, and a more eclectus friend friendly which I made. Both recipes are amazing and full of Vitamin A, protein, micronutrients, and other essential vitamins.
Every bird I ever met loves it including seed or pellet-only eaters. All of them eat it right away.
Healthy, made from scratch Pumpkin Birdie bread.
Original
Ingredients:4 cups of flour, you can use spelt, brown rice, almond, buckwheat, oat, chickpea four, etc
3 cups mashed fruits/veggies (frozen or fresh) including organic baby food.
1 cup small or ground pellets if you want or have.

For the nutty bread..

1/2c raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 c almond slivers
3 beaten eggs with ground shells or 1/2 c flax seeds soaked
1 T non-aluminum baking soda
Directions:
Put all dry ingredients together and stir
Put all moist ingredients together and stir
Add moist ingredients to dry and mix well.
Add extra moist ingredients almond milk or any healthy liquid to mix to make it easy to spoon up. A little moist is better than too dry.
Grease or use baking paper(easier to clean )3 muffin tins and extra bread pans.
3/4 fill each
Bake at 400 for 25 mins for muffins and 40 mins for bread pans.
Test with a dry knife to the center to check if done. It will come out clean if done.
Almost all of these ingredients can be substituted according to what you have. Experiment and use what you know your birds like.
