Directions

• May make up to 30% of the daily diet
• For maximum nutrition, use one .5 oz (15ml) Packet Sunshine Factor (certified organic palm fruit oil) instead of cooking oil when baking
• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C)
• Combine entire bag of mix with 2 whole organic eggs - no shell (remove yolk for less fat), 1 Packet (15 ml) Sunshine Factor® or other high quality organic vegetable oil, and 1 cup (235 ml) water
• Fill greased bread pan or muffin tins and bake for 25-35 minutes
• Do not bake in nonstick (PTFE-coated) cookware, as the fumes are toxic to birds
• If prepared with the addition of fruits, vegetables or nuts, Bird Bread should be considered a "treat" and fed only in limited quantities (no more than 10% of the daily food allotment when combined with all other treats)
• Can be served warm
• Some flavorings (vanilla, maple) or herbs can be added as long as they do not change the nutritional content
• Bird Bread can be stored for 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 6 weeks in the freezer after baking
• Baked Bird Bread can be divided into portions, wrapped in plastic wrap and placed back in the original Harrison's Bird Foods bag for storage in the freezer
