I haven't tried this one yet. But it sure looks good and I like that it has variations you can use to give it a different taste.

There are two mixtures that will be combined: The dry mix and the wet mix. Prepare the dry mix in a large mixing bowl. Prepare the wet mix in a two quart blender or vita-mixer.

Dry Mix:
(Don't bother sifting or measuring real carefully.
Just scoop and dump the ingredients into the bowl)

1/2 cup ground flax seed ( tip: grind while processor is still dry before making wet mix. Do not get flax seed wet until you are ready to add the wet mix to the dry mix because it is high in muco-polysaccharides, which form a sticky gel when moistened.)
1/2 cup ground nuts (walnuts, pecans, brazils, almonds)
2 cups whole wheat flour -
2 cups oatmeal -
1 cup wheat germ -
1 cup corn meal -
1 cup whey protein or soy milk powder -
1 cup soy flour -
1 cup unprocessed millers bran -
1 cup soy lecithin -
1/3 - 1/2 cup oil
Do NOT use fragile oils that are easily damaged by heat, like flax, borage, evening primrose.
Best oils to use would be coconut or olive oil.
Safflower, sunflower, and corn are high in Omega 6 fatty acids, which birds already obtain from their diets and have been implicated in exacerbating some inflammatory diseases.

Don't worry if you don't have all the flour ingredients. Just increase any of the others to substitute.

Wet Mix Base:
6 eggs (including shells)
2 cups chopped carrots
1 peeled Banana
1 large Apple (cored, cut into inch pieces)

To the wet base, process-in any one of the following mixtures:

Italian
1 medium Tomato / 1 1/2 cups fresh leaves Spinach / 1/2 cup chopped Bell Pepper / 1 cup chopped Zucchini / 1 cup Spaghetti Squash / 3 cloves Garlic / 1 cup Green Beans / 1/4 cup fresh Basil or 1 Tsp. dry Basil or ½ cup Italian Season Parmesan Cheese

Zesty Garden
1 stalk chopped Celery / 1 cup Corn / ½ cup chopped Bell Pepper / 1 cup chopped Broccoli / 1 ½ cup Leafy Greens (kale, turnip, beet, mustard) ¼ cup chopped Chives / 1 cup Green Peas / ¼ cup dill weed / 1 Tsp. Garden Seasoning (rosemary, basil, etc)

Mexican Tomato
1 medium Tomato / 1 cup Corn / 1 cup chopped Bell Pepper / ½ cup choped Jalapeno Pepper / 3 cloves chopped Garlic / 1 cup Jicama (may omit) 1 cup Winter Squash (acorn, butternut, etc) / 1 cup cooked Pinto Beans / 1 Tsp. Chili Powder / 1 Tsp. Oregano

Golden Harvest
1 chopped Apple, cored /1 cup Winter Squash (acorn, butternut, pumpkin) / 1 cup Yellow Fruit (peach, apricot, nectarine, cantaloupe) 1 Tsp. Nutmeg / 1 Tsp. Ginger / 1 Tsp. Cinnamon

Merry Berry
1 chopped Apple, cored / 1 cup Strawberries / 1 cup chopped Kiwi, Blueberries or Cherries / 1 cup Raspberries or Blackberries / 1 cup Cranberries or Orange / 1 ½ cups fresh leaves Spinach / 1 lb Tofu (may omit) / 1 Tsp. Nutmeg

Citrus Delight
1 chopped Apple, cored / 1 chopped Orange (include peel, wash well) / 1 Grapefruit (no peel or bitter section) / Zest and Juice of 1 Lemon / Zest and Juice of 1 Lime / 1 ½ cups chopped Kale / ½ cup fresh or 1 Tsp. powdered Lemon Grass / 1 lb. Tofu (may omit) 1 Tsp. Allspice

Sweet Heat
1 chopped Apple, cored / 1 can Pineapple in its own juice (If in syrup, then you must drain and rinse all the syrup out of the fruit before processing) 5 large/8 small whole chopped Jalapeno Peppers

Turn on blender or vita mixer and process until you achieve a thick puree that has some visible small pieces of the contents. If too thick, add a bit of milk or water.

Directions: Add wet mix to the dry mix in the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly. You should have a cookie dough consistency. If too wet, add a bit of flour...doesn't matter which kind.

Spread onto a lipped cookie sheet that has been well sprayed with cooking oil. Bake in 300 or 350 degree oven until knife or toothpick comes out clean, about 30-40 minutes. The wetter the mix, the longer it will take to bake. This batch might make two sheets depending on the size of the sheet. This will provide approximately 80 one-inch cubes of bird-bread.

This all looks really good - thanks! I like the different flavor variations too.

holy moly thats a lot of bread!!!

is there a way to divide the mixed flour before you add the variations? & to make the variation ingredients smaller? i'd be using 1 kind for probably a yr.

I wish my oven worked, when I get the new one put in (don't ask!) I will be making these for sure

Great recipes! Now if only I could convince myself to bake. I absolutely detest baking! (I know - bad birdie mommy)!
