Baking Directions
• 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 Tablespoon (15 ml) AVIx 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.

Serving Suggestions
• May make up to 30% of the daily diet.
• 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.

Storage & Shelf Life
Because Bird Bread Mix contains not preservatives, some care is recommended for storage.
• If the bag is opened, the top can be zipped closed or rolled down and closed with a chip clip for 4-6 weeks.
• Bird Bread can be stored for 1 week in the refrigerator and 1 year 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.
• Bird Bread should not be reheated in a plastic container.
