How To Make Homemade Bird Treats
October 11, 2011 Bird Suet Feeder
Here’s an easy recipe for homemade bird treats. 2 cups of crushed Cheerios 2 cups of seed mixture (or pellets) 1 cup of honey Mix the ingredients together until you have a thick consistency. Press the mixture onto a baking pan and put it in the oven at 250 degrees for an hour. Let it cool. The consistency should be stiff enough to roll into balls. After shaping, put them back in the oven at 200 degrees for 30 minutes to 1 hour to harden the treats. Music: “City of Angels” and “The Unfeeling Kiss” by Gabriel Yared

Hummingbirds are fun, entertaining, full of energy and it’s easy to attract hummingbirds.

Thanks!
Yo, you have to make me some of this!
These treats be good for larger birds too? (Macaws)
@1723Trains For larger birds, use a food mixture made for Macaws or larger birds. You can use a larger pellet mixture instead of cheerios.

Thats funny, I used to have a Cockatiel named Trixie for many years. I think she was about 10 when she died. She used to be able to whistle just about anything I taught her. Great idea! Loved the video.

Hello are pedigree dog food safe for cockatiels ?
any one has tested this ? I read the contents and it has all the minerals and vitamins required for a bird….
@dragonfliesftw555 saame! lol mines clear thoo
@sangam061289 No, dog food is not a healthy for birds. It has a lot more protein in it then they need, which can cause health problems. I’m sure they can be given a piece or two without issue, but I wouldn’t ever use it as their main diet. Different animals have different foods for a reason.
@Mikamod Thanks a lot for ur advice….
sweet cherrios or regular?
I would even eat that.
are these good for finches
please give me an answer, if we have small birds like parakeets how many cup of cheerios, honey, and seed mixture do we use? can it last long outside? because i made my parakeets and cockatiel a big aviary outside and can it last in the refigerator? because i really like your recipe and i want to know
