Quick Birdie Bread

2 boxes Jiffy Corn Bread
2/3 cup Orange Juice with Calcium
1/4 cup Brewer's yeast
4 Eggs
1/3 cup Untoasted Wheat Germ

Mix together all ingredients in large bowl. Adjust liquid using more juice, eggs or baby food as needed. Pour into 2-3 greased 8" X 8" pans and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes (more or less depending upon pan and amounts in pan) until fully cooked.

I use this basic recipe and add nonfruit Finch or Parakeet Pellets, chopped broccoli and carrots, mixed veggie baby food, rolled oats, and other items. Then I bake, cut and freeze until ready for use.
