    Serving Suggestions
  • May make up to 30% of the daily diet.
  • If prepared with the addition of fruits, vegetables or nuts, Bird Bread should be considered a “treat” and fed only in limited quantities (no more than 10% of the daily food allotment when combined with all other treats).
  • Can be served warm.
  • Some flavorings (vanilla, maple) or herbs can be added as long as they do not change the nutritional content.

    Storage & Shelf Life
    Because Bird Bread Mix contains no preservatives, some care is recommended for storage.
  • If the bag is opened, the top can be zipped closed or rolled down and closed with a chip clip for 4-6 weeks.
  • Bird Bread can be stored for 1 week in the refrigerator and 1 year in the freezer after baking.
  • Baked Bird Bread can be divided into portions, wrapped in plastic wrap and placed back in the original Harrison’s Bird Foods bag for storage in the freezer.
  • Bird Bread should not be reheated in a plastic container.
