This versatile bread is great for most types of pet birds. The recipe
here will make a nice pair of apple-carrot-zucchini flavored loaves,
but the recipe is intended for you to make it in any flavor you (or
your pet) would like!
Simply substitute the carrot and zucchini for
any fruit or vegetable. Some good choices are: blueberries,
cranberries, bananas, broccoli, squash, cauliflower, green beans,
raspberries, spinach, nuts, pineapple, etc., but you can use whatever
you might like!
