FEEDING DIRECTIONS-
May make up to 30% of the daily diet.
To bake:
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) .
Combine entire bag of mix with 2 whole organic eggs - no shell (remove yolk for less fat), 15 ml of a high quality organic vegetable oil and 1 cup (235 ml) water.
Fill greased bread pan or muffin tins and bake for 25-35 minutes.
Do not bake in non-stick (PTFE-coated) cookware, as the fumes are toxic to birds.
If prepared with the addition of fruits, vegetables or nuts, Bird Bread should be considered a "treat" and fed only in limited quantities (no more than 10% of the daily food allotment when combined with all other treats).
Can be served warm.
Some flavourings (vanilla, maple) or herbs can be added as long as they do not change the nutritional content.
Bird Bread can be stored for 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 6 weeks in the freezer after baking.
Baked Bird Bread can be divided into portions, wrapped in plastic wrap and placed back in the original Harrison's Bird Foods bag for storage in the freezer.
Bird Bread should not be reheated in a plastic container.
