Dakota enjoying her birdie bread muffin
Birds love eating their seeds & pellets - but they should also be eating veggies, fruits and whole grains. Some birds just don't take to a piece of broccoli but with a little creativity and a fun recipe, your birds can enjoy a healthy treat - made with love from you!
This page is designed to help you think of ways to offer your bird or birds healthy homemade treats.
I am looking to my bird friends for recipes they've tried and their birds love!
Hope you try the recipes - and if you want to submit a recipe and a picture of your bird enjoying it, please email me at flutterfarm@aol.com and I will add it to the page!
One of Dakota's favorite treats is Birdie Bread Muffins!
To make Birdie Bread Muffins for your birds ...
1 box Jiffy Corn Bread Mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
Add in chopped veggies, fruits, nuts (anything your bird likes or that you want him to try)
Egg food or oatmeal
Mix together and put into 12 muffin paper lined muffin tins

Let cool, and put any left overs into freezer bags & freeze until you're ready to serve!

Fresh chopped veggies make a great addition to your flocks' diet. Here are the beginnings of the chop for my flock using broccoli rabe, green pepper, sweet potato, mini pumpkin, carrots and butternut squash. Steamed brown rice and black eyed peas will also be added. This will be divided into serving portions for my flock and frozen. These colors remind me of our Sun Conure, Dakota!

Chard/Quinoa Recipe -
Submitted by Darwin's Mom - Barb from Pullman, WA
To get some greens into Darwin's diet, which he doesn't like eating, Barb decided to disguise them in this recipe!
And he really liked it! Also made it with healthy quinoa!
handful shredded Chard
handful broccoli florets
handful beans (black-eyed peas)
handful cooked quinoa
1/2 T red pepper flakes
Mix it up in a bowl and served. It was a little warm because the quinoa had just finished cooking.

Sweet Potato Balls
Submitted by Darwin's Mom - Barb from Pullman, WA
(Darwin has a really good mommy!)
1 cooked mashed sweet potato
1/2 mashed banana
1 T peanut butter
2 T oats
3 T 9-grain cereal
Mix up the above ingredients and scoop up small balls.
Roll balls in the topping (below):
4 chopped almonds
4 chopped pecans
2 hazelnuts
handful of millet
handful of flax seed
Bake the balls at 250 for almost an hour. This dries them out quite a bit, but didn't completely dehydrate. Freeze any leftover balls.
Darwin loved the outside, and has managed to shell the whole thing somehow . Option - Mix topping & first ingredients all together, then bake.
