Microwave Birdy Bread Cones

"I stumbled across this recipe and just HAD to make it for my feathered friends. My birds, 2 cockatiels, a cockatoo and a lovebird, go wild for this stuff. Those guys eat better than the human members of my family..lol. I love them dearly and really enjoy cooking up things to please them. Only the lovebird does not seem to care for this recipe, choosing a different birdy bread recipe for himself (the little gourmet) This is made in a microwave and takes about 30 seconds to make. Serve only as a treat!!***This recipe calls for 1/4 cup Rainbow Exact Pellets (available at pet store) but I was unable to list them as they are not exactly a "common" ingredient."

  1. I made these but I think my microwave is not the right wattage as the cones kind of melted before the muffins were done. And my birds were put off by the sight of them. Luckily, I only did two cones and I baked the remaining batter in a mini muffin tin! My parrots love them now! They each get 1/2 mini muffin every morning with their fresh vegies and fruits. Thanks Birdy
     
  2. My DD and I made these last night for her babysitter's birds. They are so cute and easy to make, and the kids can really jump in an mix these up. I added the 1/4 cup of pellets as well, just a different type. Thanks for a cute recipe!

Hi Everyone! I have just changed my image here on 'zaar. The big bird in the pic is none other than me, BirdyBaker. It was from Halloween 04. I made the costume myself and it was so much fun!. I am a highschool student and I love photography,painting crafts and everything else artistic. I LOVE to write, anything, from essays to fiction to poetry. It's so much fun! I also am very interested in Asian culture and want to work in Japan someday. I have a passion for cooking and try to cook as much as I can, trying to make a different dish each time. I am just crazy over my 3 birds, George Arthur, Bailey and Jazzy, hence the name "BirdyBaker"...lol
