Instructions

    • 1

      Cut a whole-wheat bagel, English muffin or piece of bread into small bite-size pieces that your bird will be able to eat easily.

    • 2

      Add a nutty taste to the bird treats by spreading natural peanut butter (no sugar added) onto the entire surface of the chunks.

    • 3

      Roll the peanut-butter-covered bread into the birdseed your bird usually eats. This adds some extra nutrients to the treat and makes it less sticky to handle.

    • 4
