There are only human-grade
ingredients in IB3.
It starts with flours made from various grains. Added to that
are fresh eggs, and vegetables including sweet potatoes,
peppers, carrots, and beans and corn of various types. Various
herbs and spices add even more taste and nutrition.
Introduce your little seed-junkies to
variety in their diets while adding nutritional content that
seeds alone can’t provide. Itty Bitty Birdie Bites are not
intended to be a sole source of nutrition. I recommend
top-dressing your bird’s seed mix with a small spoonful daily.
The Original Flavor contains
approx. 45% vegetables, 50% grains, plus fresh egg, herbs, and
spices.
The Berry Flavor contains berries such as blueberries and cranberries, plus
apple, nuts, and spices such as ginger and cinnamon.
The Blazin' Flavor contains such foods as jalapeno peppers,
black beans, rice, and corn, with the flavors of garlic,
cilantro, and others for a more authentic Tex-Mex treat
experience.
Sprouting is probably the healthiest change
we can make to our birds’ diets. However, many people are
intimidated by the mere idea of it. While fresh is always
preferred, Bloomin' Birdie Bites offer an easy alternative. The
majority of this food consists of sprouted seed, grain, and
legumes, with other fresh foods added for flavor and additional
nutritional components. This is not a cooked food, so as to
maintain as much of the natural nutrition as possible.
It can be fed dry or moistened with
equal parts water (add to my finches egg food!), either way,
it's tails-up delicious!

This
is a new food for the littlest birdies, and we're really excited
about this one! It's a combination of the healthiest natural
(organic and/or certified chemical-free!) foods with a flavor
that they all love! These awesome nutrient-dense foods are ready
for you to prepare before serving in an EASY 2-part
process that will make them irresistible and
fresh-tasting to your little birds. The work has already been
done, the grains, legumes, and seeds have been sprouted and
dried at low, enzyme-protecting temperatures; the veggies have
been cut to itty bitty birdie size, the greens have been
carefully selected and added to an herb-and-spice mix that was
specially created for our little birds...you just have to add a
little water, soak, and stir in the topping mix to give your
birds a feast of over 3 dozen healthy whole foods that will have
them tails up before you can say "bon appetit"!
Part one consists of all whole foods, including
germinated seeds, grains, and a few legumes (not too many, as
most little birds don't need a big burst of protein), and rich
dark red and green veggies to which you simply add a little warm
water to rehydrate the goodies for 10 minutes (no cooking, keep
those natural nutrients intact!)
Part 2 is a delicious topping that adds more
veggies, lots of greens, a few specially selected herbs, some of
the healthy seeds that aren't usually included in seed mixes,
and a little spice.
Give it a stir, and watch 'em dig in! -
but remember - a little goes a LONG way! Just a teaspoon
makes a great meal for an itty bitty birdie friend, so a 4-oz
order, properly stored, could last a couple of months, depending
on how often you feed it. These foods are so nutrient-dense that
every other day is more than enough!
Simple Sprouts & GHV
Forget all of the complicated
directions you've read in the past about how to sprout. There's
nothing complicated about it. Live foods have been doing it for
years, all by themselves. This is easy stuff, and perfectly safe
with the same common sense precautions you'd use with any fresh
food. Although the word "sprouts" is used to describe the
generic group of living growing whole foods, we're not talking
about the same things you see on salad bars. For our purposes,
when using the word "sprouts" I'm referring to germinated seeds,
grains, and legumes. This is the time when the maximum nutrition
is available to do the incredible work of growing a plant from a
seed, when that seed is packed with all of the nutrients needed
to begin that miraculous process...and this is the time when you
want your birds to benefit from all of these nutritional
elements, before they are used up in the making of the plant -
when the food is germinated, and before actual growth reaches
about 1/4".
An easy and healthful 24-hour (or less!)
sprout mix containing grains, seeds, and legumes specially
chosen for quick germination. Add GHV, a combination Greens, Veggies,
and Herbs in a shaker to sprinkle over the germinated sprouts
for even more natural nutrition!
I talked to other bird-owning friends about
this food, sent them little packages for own birds to try, and
was encouraged to market my food. So in the summer of 2002 I put
out a call for the most hardened, seed junkies on the internet
to test it. Just over 100 of the ‘net’s pickiest birds tried my
creation, and an astounding 87% loved it!
First, all of our foods contain only
human-grade ingredients. I add no preservatives, color
enhancers, synthetic “nutrients”, or anything else artificial.
Nothing you can’t pronounce.
Second, I make each and every batch as
though I were lovingly making it for my own flock. Indeed, my
birds act as my quality control team, and taste-test every
batch!
Third, every ingredient is hand-chosen,
cleaned, milled, baked, ground, dried, or otherwise processed.
Fourth, cleanliness of the food preparation
area and equipment, including anything that comes into contact
with any of the foods used, is meticulously adhered to. I
wouldn’t take any chances with my own birds; I’m certainly not
going to take any with yours.
Fifth, safety is always first. Germinated
ingredients are triple rinsed, and germinated under refrigerated
conditions with frequent rinsing. All ingredients are as fresh
as possible, and safe food handling techniques are the rule - no
exceptions. Dehydrating is done at lowest effective temperatures
with maximum air flow, to minimize nutrient loss without
allowing spoilage of any kind.
Most of these foods require up to 3 days to
prepare. In every detail, and in every step, we remember that
these foods will be fed to birds (and other pets as well!) that
are loved and cherished and very special....and we make our
foods with as much care as your birds deserve.
