How to make Beep Beep's favourite bread: parrot bread! The recipe comes from greyhavenbirds.com, a fantastic parrot rescue in BC, Canada. The recipe:

Parrot Muffins / Bread
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 cups corn meal flour
• 3 or 4 eggs with shells blended into small pieces
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 large cooked & peeled & mashed dark orange sweet potato
• 1 whole banana mashed
• 1/2 cup cooked beans mashed (kidney, garbanzo, pinto, etc)
• 2-3 cups fresh veggies &/or fruit chopped (broccoli, peas, beans, berries, cranberries, peppers, carrots and carrot tops, yam – see what’s in the fridge)
• 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts, sunflower etc.)
Optional:
• 2 jars of baby food or apple sauce (organic vegetable or fruit) – this helps keep the recipe moist
• Pellets – Harrison or Roudybush or other
• Other ingredients your bird likes
Mix all ingredients using a large bowl and a stiff spoon.
Cook in low sided baking pans greased with an organic oil.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 30-40 minutes – monitor the bread as it can burn easily. Cut into your bird’s favorite size and freeze.
