I didn't write it down exactly, just absorbed the general guidelines.<BR/><BR/>Oats and whole meal flour are good, white flour bad. No baking powder, it's bad for them. No added sugar. Egg binds it together and is a good source of protein. And you can mash and hide fruit and veggies in there that they normally don't like to eat.<BR/><BR/>From there, I just winged it. I kind of figured out what consistency the glop should be so that it wouldn't come out too soft or too hard. I cut out the egg yolk from my recipe because both my birds are species prone to liver iron storage disease. So I add a tiny bit of oil to help it keep longer. It comes out slightly different every time, but the birds don't seem to mind.<BR/><BR/>I cut it into wedges and freeze it, since they can't eat that much of it at one time. <BR/><BR/>And no, I haven't eaten it.Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632994722360570700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23011314.post-1150161055378213022006-06-12T20:10:00.000-05:002006-06-12T20:10:00.000-05:00My only question is, where did you get the recipe?...My only question is, where did you get the recipe?
