Cindy's Birdie Bread

**Note: I have not tried this, but I wanted to jump-start this section with a recipe that sounded pretty yummy!***

2 cups Bisquick
2 cups yellow corn meal
1 cup whole wheat flour,
4eggs
3 6 oz. jars of pureed fruit and vegetable baby food, any combination (I use 1-sweet potato 1-chicken vegetable 1-banana)
(Optional additions)
1/2 pkg. dried fruit (fruit bits)
chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, peanuts, etc.)
shaved cuttle bone
shelled sunflower seeds
shelled millet
shelled pumpkin seeds

Preheat oven to 350
Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray
Mix all dry ingredients together, well.
Add eggs and Baby food Stir until all Ingredients. are evenly moist.
Batter will be very thick and heavy.
Bake approximately 40 minutes or until cake pulls away from the edges of the pan. I check with a tooth pick to make sure the center is cooked.
Cool completely, cut into cubes, slices.
Reserve enough for 2-3- days and freeze the rest.

Thaw as needed.
*NOTE* I add a little water to moisten the batter. Once you start adding the nuts and stuff it tends to be dry. You don't want it too wet or too dry. I add the optional ingredients except I have added pellet. Our birds sometimes start flinging pellets, so I collect them and crush them and add them to the birdie bread. We are at sea level, so cooking times may vary. I would check it after 30 minutes. I have also tried this recipe with fresh fruit. It works but doesn't keep as well as the dried fruit. Some people make the base and add just beans. You can buy a frozen mix . Frozen veggies. will work too. Thaw the frozen ingredients before adding to the rest.

This is a great recipe for experimenting.
