Here is a list of yummy foods to feed your bird. Remember to always feed healthy food so he can have a long and happy life. Birds just love fruits, vegetables and pasta. Some birds are pickier than others and don’t like as many things, other birds will eat anything. If your bird is not used to eating fresh food just keep trying, sooner or later he will like it.

1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
1 egg
1/2 cup small bird pellets
1 jar baby food, sweet potatoes
1 banana, smashed
Add all the ingredients together and mix well. Be sure to smash the egg shell as well and add that to the bird bread. Pour into the pan and cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Have a grown up check to see if it’s done by inserting a knife into the center of the bread, i
