Add 1-2 tbs powdered wheat grass and 2 tbs powdered eggshells. Mix in 4 whole eggs, 1 jar of babyfood carrots, and enough unsweetened fruit juice to mix into a firm dough. Scoop by the spoonful and roll into balls of about 0.5-0.75 " diameter; place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in oven at 325 degrees for 20-30 min. Cool on a rack and keep in the refrigerator. Also freezes well. Depending on size, makes about 90-100. I keep a ziplock of these in the freezer at all times and take out about 15-20 at a time and keep in the refrigerator. My U2 and CAG both LOVE these and will do just about anything to get one! I think they are a much healthier substitute for many of the bird treats in the pet stores. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cokie's Cookies Posted by: Pam Katz - MizPam@AOL.com - April 27, 1998 1 cup dried fruit (any of your birds favorites-i.e.apricots, apples,figs, dates, coconut, etc.) 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal 1/2 cup raisins 1/4 cup hulled seeds and/or crushed nuts (I use sunflower seeds, cashews, peanuts, and walnuts) 1 Tbs peanut butter 2 Tbs honey In a food processor, process all ingredients together except for the honey and peanut butter. You will have a sticky glob to put into a medium size bowl. Add the peanut butter and honey and stir until it gets too thick. Then use your hands to knead the rest to a "rollable" consistency. Make 1/2 inch balls and place them on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Cool and serve. They are quite delicious (you'll like them too), and they're just the right size for my Scarlet Macaw," Coconut", to hold. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emilie's Birdie Pot Pie Posted by: Emilie Flack - emwtbonnie@yahoo.com - March 8, 2000 1 jar baby food carrots 2 or 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (depending on the size of your bird or how many birds you have) 1 or 2 six inch sticks of celery, cut up very very fine 1 tsp bird seed 1/2 tsp millet (off the stick) 1 tsp "vegetable" bird seed 1/4 tsp parsley 1 pot pie crust Take the crust and warm it in the microwave until lukewarm. Set aside. In a bowl mix the baby food, eggs, celery and parsley. Microwave until warm. Then pour the bird seed (every kind) in and mix. If nessasary, heat the mixture and/or crust again. Pour the mixture in the crust, then top the crust with the crust lid. Bake in the oven until light brown. Set on rack to cool. Serve at room temp. NOTE:This recipie is for budgies (parakeets)only. Most budgies will love it! But, if they don't that's ok. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kudo's Birdie Coffee Cake Posted by: GAYLE D - LeidiHawk@msn.com - October 4, 1999 2 cups bisquick 1 jar stage 3 blue berry buckle baby food 1 tbs cinnimon 1 tbs honey chopped nuts optional 1/2 cup natural fruit juice 1 cup frozen triple berries Mix ingredents with fruit juice. Bake in glass pie pan (spray with pam) at 425 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes (depends on dryness of birds tastbuds). Cut into pieces, freeze unused portions. Caution: parrots beaks change colors mysteriously after inhaling cake. Will return to normal, no health hazzard! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parrot Pizza Posted by: Joe & Rebecca - clubicki@tl.infi.net March 12, 1997 1 small pizza crust (ready made) or 1 large flour tortilla 3 tbs pizza sauce 1 tbs wheat germ 1/4 cup shredded carrots 1/4 cup chopped broccoli 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Place the crust or tortilla shell on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

The answer? Talus' Crunchy Cookie! Grind the nuts very fine, and mix with about a quarter to a half cup of whole wheat flour. Stir in a few tbss of white flour. Add enough water to make a very dry, stiff dough (it doesn't take much!); knead for a minute or two. Break off tbs-sized pieces and roll each out flat and thin on a floured surface. Bake on a hot, unoiled, cast-iron skillet, flipping occasionally. DO NOT cook on a non-stick pan. The cookie is done when it begins to turn gold-brown with some black spots. Cool and serve-- a crunchy, healthy treat! Options: Add a few drops of red or blue food coloring to tint the cookie. Replace some of the water with fruit juice to sweeten, and cook on a lower heat.
