Seed & Honey Stuffers

A super simple and versatile home-made treat for all parrots! It is also a perfect recipe to sneak in those vitamins!

Ingredients:

4 tbsp seeds or seed mix

2 tbsp small pellets (finch or parakeet size work best)

2 tbsp wheat flour

2 tbsp water

2 tsp honey

add additional vitamins according to individual directions

*You will need some pasta shells to fill, but if you don’t have any, you can roll the dough into balls, or disks with holes to string them on toys!

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350′ F.

2. In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients: seeds, pellets, flour, water, honey, and vitamins. If the dough is too dry, add small amounts of water.

3. Grab a handful of uncooked pasta shells to fill- mezzi riggitoni and medium shells work well!

4. After mixing the dough thoroughly, put it into a ziplock bag, and cut the corner off a bottom end so you can pipe the dough into the pasta pieces, or into shapes on a parchment-lined baking pan.

Alternate: Roll the dough into balls about the size of a dime or penny. If you want treats to hang, flatten the balls into disks and use a straw to punch holes into the center.

5. Bake items for 10 minutes, cool, and serve!
