My Birdie Bread

[hmetzig]

:aiwebs_02 My birdie bread (Harriet Metzig)1 cup flour,3 cups corn meal,2 cups Wheat flour,
1 cup of QuakerQuick Oats, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 2 jars each of Baby food.
I use carrots, sweet potatoes, and applesauce,12 eggs and shells. Put all dry
ingredients together. Put all baby food and eggs and shells in blend and blend.
Add to dry ingredients to moisten. It will be thick. You can add a little water
just to make it easier to stir. Place in two square greased cake pans and bake
at 375 degrees about 30 minutes or until a toothpick come out clear. Take out of
pans to cool. While cooling. Boil 6 more eggs to hard boil. Just boil them 5 minutes
and then let them sit in the pot until the birdie bread is cooled. Break up birdie
bread and process until it fine crumbs. Divide into two batches. Smash up three hard
boiled eggs and put in one batch and the other three in the other and fold them into
the birdie bread. Then I add 1 1/2 to 2 cups of the ABBA 92 in one batch and the same
with ABBA 93. Now you have a batch for reds and a batch for all other birds. To these
batches I sprinkle in my vitamins.About 1 teaspoon of each I use:Prime,Vita plumage,
Spirilina, Ova-Aid, and Probiotic. You can also add color enhances if you like. I put
in my red: Red C (Carophyll red blend/Canthaxantine 10%) and for all other birds Green
YBC 100 plus(Yellow Beta-Carotene). I put it all incontainers.(Zip Lock has all sizes)
It's according to how many birds you have and how much you will use in a day. Place them
in the freezer and keep out what you will use in a day. This recipes ingredients can vary.
experiment. I'm going to try peas the next time. Maybe in addition to what I already put
in. If it's in the birdie food it saves me the trouble of feeding it separately. You
suppose you can use most baby food.Pears,bananas etc. When you are all done. The
softfood should be crumblly and a little moist. If you think it's too dry add a few
drops of water to the potion for that day. I serve in a shallow dish so that it dries
out before it can sour and get rancid. I serve my parents with babies three to four
times a day along with fresh greens during moult all the birds get this daily then a
slow down to once a week the same with the greens. They get as much greens as they can
eat when feeding young but only a small piece the rest of the time.Softfood is one
teaspoon for each bird. That includes babies. If it's a mom and dad and two babies,
thats 4 teaspoon each time. If she has four babies and then mom and dad, thats 6 teaspoons.
Hope this helps. My birdes seem to do fine and look forward to feeding time. Also I don't
see any dirrhea. I believe the probiotics helps keep them all healthy from bad bacteria.
It helps keep their ammune system up. With to Ova-aid and egg shells
I have not had trouble with soft shell eggs.
