You can experiment with different toppings, but keep your bird’s special needs in mind. Many bird’s cannot tolerate ingredients such as meats or excessive amounts of cheese.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Flour your hands if desired, then take the biscuit and pound it flat using the palm of your hand. Flatten the biscuit to about 5-6 inches in diameter. Then place the biscuit onto an un-greased cookie or baking sheet.
Open the jar of baby food and spread it, with a knife or spatula, over the top surface of the biscuit, leaving a “crust” of about 1/4” around the outside edge. Do not spread the baby food in this area.
Sprinkle the prepared biscuit with the bell pepper, carrot, broccoli, and wheat germ as desired. Try to sprinkle each ingredient evenly over the biscuit. Again, avoid the “crust” around the outside edge. Sprinkle the cheese over all of the vegetables, covering everything well. Don’t sprinkle any cheese over the crust.
Place the baking sheet, and the biscuit into the preheated oven. Bake the pizza for about 10 minutes, watching it carefully to avoid burning. Remove the pizza from the heat once the cheese is melted and the crust is lightly golden. Allow the pizza to cool considerably, or until it is cool to the touch. Slice into pizza shapes slices and serve to your pet.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator until ready to use. Makes 1 pizza.

THAT SOUNDS DELICIOUS! your right though, birds are lactose intolerant cause they arent mammals, and shouldnt be given much milk products. meats not so bad. my birds like a little chicken once in a while, but i never give them milk or cheeze intentionally. some times they'll run to my fork for some pasta, and get a little cheeze too. they love pasta, but i think it has milk in it to?

Is tube dough safe? It is often bleached. Is that okay?

[new guy on the block]

the sugar levels in tube dough are not good at all, ive just written an article on it in this segment called "IMPORTANT - BIRDY POISON" take a look, other than that and the cheese, it sounds great.
ooh and in regards to feeding them meat, i used to have a citron cockatoo whom ate hotdogs - though it's debatable just how much "meat" is in a hotdog lol

What a fantastic idea!!

I would make my own dough with wheat flour but I LOVE the idea!

I'm going to try that!

Thank you so much for sharing!
