Homemade Parrot Muffins

• 2 cups Corn Meal Flour

• 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour

• 1 tablespoon Baking Powder

• 3 eggs (with shells mushed in small pieces)

• 1 cooked & peeled sweet potato/yam mashed

• 1 whole banana mashed

• 1/2 cup red kidney beans mashed,

• 2 cups fresh veggies/fruit chopped finely in a food processor (normally use: broccoli, string beans, various berries, cranberries, kale, red peppers, whatever's at home)

• 4 tablespoons peanut butter

• 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (sunflower seeds, hulled millet, pecans, walnuts, etc)

Optional: 2 jars of baby food (veggie or fruit only) I have noticed using this keeps them moist.

Mix all ingredients and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes (keep a watch on them that they do not burn). You can substitute veggies to whatever is in your house. Can use frozen veggies to substitute for fresh. - Be Creative and have fun with it!

Make a double batch of this and pour into a cake pan and muffin pans that I grease up with oil so it doesn't stick. I wrap up the muffins up with wax paper and put them in freezer bags for individual daily servings. This has been proven very efficient for those busy mornings. Yield: 24 Muffins

My Amazon has high cholesterol and neither she nor my Senegal are much for pellet-eating. The vet insisted they should eat Harrison's, so I grind it up in my coffeegrinder. Mix half ground pellet and half unenriched cornmeal. Add eggwhites only (cholesterol!!!!!), a little bakingsoda, a sprinkle salt, a little unsweetened applesauce, any chopped up veggie or fruit or nuts or seed - whatever is handy. I spray my microwave muffin tins with non stick spray - no grease for my little general - and then the mess gets nucked at medium for 5 to six min - of course you have to turn it at least once. There is no such bird that doesn't like cornmuffins and this is a good way to trick them into eating their pellets. Have fun with this - it freezes great.
