How To Make Bird Food Recipe
Superb Sausage Stuffing/Dressing
A superb stuffing/dressing recipe with ground sausage in it.
Thanksgiving food is so good. Especially Stuffing/dressing! I perfer the stuffing inside the bird. You can make this inside the bird or in a casserole dish and it is good either way. Stuffing recipes are abundant. Here is a new recipe for dressing/stuffing you will like to try because it has ground sausage in it. It is easy and delicous!
here are a few receipes, happy cooking for your conures
Quinoa Breakfast of Champions”
Quinoa (pronounced “keen-nwa”) is a South American grain that is high in protein, calcium, and phosphorous. Probably the most nutritious grain in the world, it is an excellent food for conures, either sprouted and served raw, or cooked, as in this recipe. It is available in most health food stores as a bulk grain.
1 cup quinoa
2-3 cups water
Corn kernels
Chopped carrots
Raisins and/or dried apples (unsulphured, found in health food stores)
Cinnamon stick
Boil 2 cups of water, add quinoa. Cook for 10 minutes, then add veggies and dried fruit. Cook another 5 minutes or until the quinoa grain is clearish and has a tiny tail sprouting from it. You may have to add a little more water if it gets too dry too quickly. Let cool. Serve. You can put almost any veggies or fruits in this recipe.
Conures adore this grain and even the most stubborn eaters will be tempted! Add a star of anise at the end of cooking to further entice them.
“Birdie Bread”
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup yellow corn meal
2 tsp baking power
3/4 tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
1 Tbs sugar
2 eggs with shells
3 Tbs oil (your preference)
1 cup buttermilk
Grease an 8″ pan with Pam. Mix dry ingredients. Wash eggs then pulverize in blender. Mix in oil and buttermilk, then mix in dry ingredients. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool and cut into small squares and freeze.
Variations: Fruits, veggies, peppers, nuts, etc. can be added to the mixture if you like
I Yam What I Yam”
(six servings)
Yams are an excellent source of vitamin A. The corn is a good addition because most birds will eat corn, and the yam mixture sticks to it, so they get to learn how to like yams if they’re wary of new foods. The yogurt gives them not only calcium, but acidophilus and bifidus, both excellent fighters of yeast infections! This is a great recipe for birds that are feeding their young. It’s easy to digest and regurgitate for babies.
2 Medium/Large Yams
1/4 c Raisins (unsulphured)
1 tsp. Butter (optional-but does have things a bird needs!)
½ tsp. Pumpkin spice
½ c Corn
1/4 c Nonfat Yogurt (preferably organic)
Cut yams into quarters then boil until soft. Drop in raisins for the last 5 minutes of boiling. Cool. Peel off skins. Put peeled yams back in pot and mash, adding butter and pumpkin spice. Add back raisins and corn and mix into the yams. Serve in glass bowls for maximum visual stimulation ;->. Put a dollop of nonfat yogurt on top of each serving.
Warning: Do not leave this food in the cage for more than 2-3 hours, especially on a hot day.
If you can boil water and stir, you can make your birds very happy! ! This recipe is similar to a flan or soft pudding. You need only fine ground corn flour, available in most supermarkets.
Stir fine ground corn flour into boiling water until it starts to thicken, and continue stirring for another minute or two. At this point, you have a soft pudding. If you want to embellish the recipe, you can now add pumpkin puree, apple sauce, or baby food fruits or veggies. I think you may be surprised just how much your birds like this simple food. It can be refrigerated for several days or frozen in squares for later use.
“Sweet Potato Balls”
. You can add just about anything to this basic mix and birds seem to love them. Peanut butter, oatmeal, coconut or any fruit or vegetables are some examples.
1 large sweet potato, microwaved until soft
1/2 cup raisins
1 mashed banana
1 cup mixed fresh or frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup diced apples
1 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal, corn flakes or granola cereal.
Mix all together and add enough fruit or vegetable juice to make it form small balls. Freeze balls individually. Defrost and serve.
Tails Up Good! .
1 c cornmeal
1 c wheatgerm
1/4 c groats
1/4 c buckwheat
1/4 c soybeans finely ground
1/4 c nuts coarsely ground
1/8 c olive oil
1 c fresh/frozen corn cooked
1 c shredded carrots
1c greens chopped
5 eggs shell and all
1 apple chopped fine
1/2 cup soy milk
left over rice or beans (optional)
Mix all ingredients together. Prepare 9×13 inch pan with olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, then at 350 degrees for another 30 minutes or until done.
Fruit and Veggie “Popsicles”
1 apple
1 carrot
1 orange
several grapes
1 tomato
1 green pepper
Any other fruits and veggie your bird might eat
Put the ingredients on a cutting board and dice them finely (except for the orange). Place the ingrdients in a bowl. Cut the orange and squeeze (over the bowl) until it is out of juice. Pack your ingredients into a ball and stick in a wooden popsicle stick. Wrap with wax paper and put in freezer. Let it sit for an hour. Take out and give it to your bird

How do you make, a high quality daily bird food?
I want to home cook a nutritionally complete diet for my birds. (Conures) I know seed sucks, and pellets are ok (Harrisons is best) but if I can find a way to make a good meal for my birds I would prefer that, and its healthier for them (synthetic vitamins are incomplete). Can anyone point me in the direction of a recipe or two?
I have a cockatiel that was attacted in the nest and lost all his beak. I hand reared him on baby raising mix then started him on bird pellets when he was 3 months old. He is now 18 months old, his beak has grown back a little but isn’t long enough nor does it meet properly so he still can’t eat seed. He takes the moistened pellets in his mouth, sucks on them untill he gets them soft enough to swallow. If you have been feeding your bird pellets, place a small amount into a shallow dish, pour on some hot water and allow to stand a few minutes. The pellets will soften and you will be able to crush and mix them into a paste, allow to cool, your bird will lick this mix up. You will need to change the food morning and night.
If you have been feeding your bird seed, fruit and vegies its not so easy. Try cooking and cooling some of his favouite veggies then mash them put teaspoons of these on a small flat dish. Things like sweetpotato, corn kernels and peas. Soak a piece of wholemeal bread in a little water, mash and put in a dish. Cook some oats in just water, some cooked brown rice. Don’t worry, it sounds like this has just happened and you’ve done the right thing and taken her to the vet. Give her a day or two, to start feeling better. Cockatiels are clever birds, she’ll learn to cope. They can do with out food for a couple of days, give her a teaspoon of water morning and night and if she’s not eating in a few days talk to your vet. Good luck.

Is there any liquid diet recipes for cockateils?
My Cockateil broke her beak and now I am having a hard time getting her to eat anything I am not sure how long these guys can go without food and have syringed a goolash that I made for her but I am really worried that she is in too much pain even with painkillers and antibiotics, I need something anything that I can make until my bird formula gets in from the vet Please anyone help me out, with any suggestions.
If they are fully feathered they can cope on their own, you need to put them back near where you found them.
Sorry if you don’t like that answer but that is what you need to do, by “keeping” them you are not helping them at all they are wild birds, buy a budgie if you want a pet bird.
Unless you have experience hand-feeding, you need to let the parents feed the birds. Hand-feeding is very tedious, and takes tons of time. It will require you to wake up every 2 hours and feed the bird around the clock for the first 5 days, and slowly you will be feeding less and less through the weeks. As far as they food goes, they have breed specific formulas at most pet stores. You have to make sure you make the food at the right consistency, and the right temperature.
Your birds will know how to feed and take care of there young. All you need to provide is a healthy well balanced diet. This should be seed, pellet, fresh fruits, veggies, and a cuttle bone for calcium. This is very important, as raising young takes out much nutrients from the mother. After around 8 weeks, your birds should be eating and drinking on there own. Only when they are completely eating on there own can you remove them from the cage.
Good luck
I would do number 3 because it seems the easiest. When I have to do a project i always choose the easiest project. I had to read “Things Fall Apart” for summer homework and i had to do a report on it. honestly, i did not like the book at all.
