HN>but do you make your own "birdy bread"? Do you have a recipe that you 
HN>could share with us?
Birds and babies all over the western world are eating this bread! Modest, 
aren't I? 
 2 boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
 2 cups of baby cereal (Heinz)
 3 tablespoons baking powder
 2 eggs and shells (whiz in blender)
 4 jars baby food (carrots/sweet potatoes/mixed veggies, a fruit, 
   turkey/chicken & rice/veggies/noodles) almost any of the baby foods can 
   be used but choose those with a higher Vit. A content.
 3/4 cup peanut butter
 1 & 1/2 cups chopped/shredded fresh veggies (usually broccoli or carrots)
 1 teaspoon Spirulina (Wheatgrass should not be used in baking)
 Mix wet and dry ingredients separately. Combine wet & dry ingredients along 
 with chopped/shredded veggies. Dough will be stiff. Spray 9x13 inch pan 
 with Pam and bake about 30 minutes (check for doneness) in a 400 degree 
 pre-heated oven. Cool slightly, cut into squares, cool and freeze if too 
 much to use in 3 days.
You can add most anything - chopped nuts, toasted soybean bits (available at 
health food stores), shredded low fat cheese, chopped dates or figs, dried 
cranberries or blueberries, shelled toasted sunflower kernels, pureed 
bananas, peeled pureed fresh mango, papaya or kiwi (reduce number of jars of 
baby foods when using bananas or tropical fruits).
HM>I sure wish I could find more information on this fascinating people 
HM>owner .
You and me both, Hap! I am very fortunate in that I see lots and lots of 
baby AGs and probably have a good handle on what they are about. They are 
without a doubt the most fascinating bird I have ever been owned by. It is 
soooo difficult to let the baby AGs go but I can't keep them all. I rejoice 
that I can place them in special permanent homes with new owners who will 
have a well behaved, well adjusted lifetime companion. I don't sell my 
babies, they sell themselves.
HM> I keeep a special eye out for your posts because they seem to have 
HM>lots of "grey matter" in them .

HN>I will scrape cuttlebone over fresh fruit and cheese and "treats" for
HN>Jonesy, is this good or not?
Cuttlebone and Neocalglucon are very both safe supplements. Since you take 
Jonesy to the vet twice a year, you may not even need to do this. Do you 
have the blood calcium level run with each visit? The normal range for blood 
calcium is 8 to 12. If Jonesy's blood calcium is within this range, the 
calcium in the pellets should be sufficient without supplementing. As a 
general rule, birds who are on pellets shouldn't need additional 
supplements except for Wheatgrass on the soft foods daily. Of course, birds 
with low calcium levels do need a calcium supplement as directed by a avian 
vet. Is Jonesy on pellets?
Let me know how Jonesy likes the bread.
