3.  Birdie Bread Flour - ($3.25/lb + Shipping) This is a complete protein food that is completely free of any fortification, enrichment or extra vitamins.  Since these things are poor for the health of your bird, especially Eclectus who show signs such as Toe Tapping, Wing Flipping, Agitation, Feather Destruction and in rare cases mutilation, I have created this to help you the bird owner provide your bird the best in nutrition the NATURAL way.  Note that this mix below is nothing more than a powdered form of the typical birdie bean and rice mix that most people have used for years.  It is only PART of your parrots diet.  Make it just like you would corn bread.  See recipe below.

Birdie Bread Recipe

2 cups meal/flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg with shell
1 Tablespoon honey
1 1/2 cups milk with 1 T apple cider vinegar added to curd (needed to raise the bread with soda)
1-1 1/2 cups of chopped fine veggies such as: kale greens, carrots, swiss chard, etc.- seriously be creative here (my last batch had 2 banana's and squash oh and raisons)

Nuts (optional - almonds or the like for the crunch - I try to keep the fat as low as possible because of the propensity of our pets being overweight.  A few nuts in the mix are good for the bird without causing too many problems.)

Makes a 9x9 pan.  Bread can be frozen or placed in the fridge and fed for the week.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.  If made in a muffin pans bake only for 20 minutes.

The following books and videos are spectacular and are essential for you to have a positive and healthy relationship with your favorite pet - bird and other!  GoodBird Inc.
