Q2: How much of my bird’s diet can it be?
Ans: Bird Bread may make up to 30 percent of your bird’s daily diet. If you add fruits, vegetables, or nuts, it becomes a treat and should be limited to no more than 10% of the total daily food allowance, including any other treats.
Q3: Can it be the main diet during conversion?
Ans: Omega Bird Bread may be used as the main diet during conversion as long as your bird is confirmed to be eating it. It can also be used as a weaning food to transition to a formulated diet, so talk with your avian veterinarian about the plan.
Q4: What makes it an omega bread mix?
Ans: Omega Bird Bread Mix is made with certified organic chia, quinoa, and flaxseeds along with whole grains, legumes, and kelp. These ingredients, together with its 3% minimum omega-3 and 3.1% minimum omega-6 fatty acids, make it a fatty-acid-rich baked option.
Q5: Can I hide medications in it?
Ans: Yes, Bird Bread can be used as a vehicle for administering liquid medications in a healthy way. Check with your avian veterinarian about the medication, the amount of bread to offer, and how to keep the dose consistent.
Q6: What are the other ways to use it?
Ans: Bird Bread can be moistened and offered as a soft food to birds feeding chicks, used as an easy-to-use transition for hospitalized or boarding birds until they accept a formulated diet, or offered during weaning to help birds switch to a formulated diet.
Q7: How do I bake and store it safely?
Ans: Do not bake Bird Bread in nonstick (PTFE-coated) cookware, because the fumes are toxic to birds; glass cookware is safe. Baked bread keeps 1 week in the refrigerator and up to six weeks in the freezer, and it should not be reheated in a plastic container.
