Healthy Bird Bread

[Lady Jane]

My first attempt and making bird bread from scratch was a failure. I believe it was because of the type of flour I used. It was coconut flour and it was just too soft. All I got was soft crumbs and the budgies would not touch it. So I am continuing to do research and in the meantime using the pre made mixes sold on Amazon.

Was it my recipe?

Coconut flour is really hard to work with by itself. You really only need a little to go a long way. I add a little to Harrison's bird bread with an extra egg to make it more bready vs cakey.

I used some of what you included but I am convinced it was the flour. On a FB group I just joined members are writing to use mainly spelt flour and then small amounts of other flours. I don't blame anyone but myself. Here are some more helpers from the group.

I have used almond flour and oat flour. And I must confess I have also used King Arthur flour. *gasp* I know I know. I like to bake bread, so I always have it around.

But normally the fids eat better than we do.
