Hi all-Thanks for all the nice things you are saying. The IRN, Tinkerbell, is doing great in her new home and my next foster IRN, Poppi, is no longer barbering and looks fantastic-He was adopted by a FWCAS member. His new best friend is a very chatty Lory. His before pic is on my BIRDIEBREAD site on EBAY.

As for BIRDIEBREAD, almost all ingredients are organic, eggs, orange juice, veggies, beanies, hot peppers. All ingredients are human grade and I also use a high grade fruity seed mash in both veggie and hot pepper.If your fid has allergies, please email me and I will tell you if there is a problem with eating Birdiebread but, in 2 yrs, only one person has come forth requesting I use organic baking powder in their order.

There are many mixes and recipes available for birdie breads, but I got lucky and found one that every bird I offer it to likes-which is why I trademarked the recipes and cones/mini-muffins. I also discovered that making BIRDIEBREAD for just three cockatiels took just as much time and effort as making it for 20 birds. Most of my friends work 9-5 jobs, 2 jobs, have busy families or have just 1 or 2 birds or just don't want to be bothered making it any more than they want to make dog bones for their dogs. So I make "BIRDIEBREAD for the FIDS of Indulgent Pet Parents".

Since I work from my home office as a Realtor, I can pop in a fresh batch of BIRDIEBREAD and keep doing my computer research work. Lynjupiter asked me to come up with Baby BIRDIEBREAD last spring when we were taking in so many Quaker baby rescues so I worked with organic babyfood and whipped organic veggies and that seemed to go over very well with canaries and finches also.

I expect I will have the full website up sometime this week. Grandma is actually helping me work through my computer glitches. On it I will have a page for Avian and Canine Friendly properties, which I will update and expand in other states that I am familiar with. With all the crazy legislation and "bad dog laws", a lot of people are having to relocate or give up their pets. I am very active on Dogster.com also. Fortunately, my Annie is the sweetest, calmest, most obedient dog I've ever had. However, my Zoya, a Chow/shepherd, who passed last year, was a wonderful guard dog who kept us safe for 13 yrs but got a bad rap even though she never bit anybody. So this gives me the opportunity to combine my love of pets and animal rights advocacy with the satisfaction finding the right home for folks with specific needs. It is a fun way to make a living!
