Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Harrison’s Bird Bread Mix Original?
Ans: It is a premium certified organic, non-GMO verified bake-at-home mix made from whole grains and legumes, designed for treats, weaning, diet conversion, recovery, and giving medications in a healthy way, available in a 255 g size.
Q2: How do I bake it?
Ans: Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Mix the full bag of baking mix with 2 organic eggs (without shells; omit the yolks to reduce fat), 1 tablespoon of organic cooking oil or red palm fruit oil, plus 1 cup (235 ml) of water. Transfer the mixture to a greased bread pan or muffin tray and bake for 25–35 minutes.
Q3: 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 intake, including all other treats.
Q4: Can I use it for weaning or diet conversion?
Ans: Bird Bread can be used as the only food source to aid weaning, to transition a bird from a seed-based diet to Harrison’s Bird Foods, or to supplement the diet of birds already eating Harrison’s that need extra energy following an illness. It can also be a weaning food to transition to a formulated diet.
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 replace table scraps for birds that enjoy sharing mealtimes with the family, hidden as a foraging reward, moistened and offered as a soft food to birds feeding chicks, or used as an easy-to-use transition for hospitalized or boarding birds until they accept a formulated diet.
Q7: Is it safe to bake in nonstick pans?
Ans: Do not bake Bird Bread in nonstick (PTFE-coated) cookware, because the fumes are toxic to birds. Glass cookware is safe for birds, and avoid reheating Bird Bread in plastic containers. Serve it warm if you like.
