Bean/Grain/Pasta Mix 2 cups un-popped popcorn ½ cup red beans ½ cup white beans ½ cup garbanzos ½ cup dried peas ½ cup brown rice (or any rice other than white) OR ½ cup pearl barley OR ½ cup mixed rice and barley ½ cup pasta of your bird's choice 1 cup diced fresh carrot Soak popcorn two days, and beans and peas for one day, changing the soak water every eight hours. Cook popcorn for one hour in LOTS of water in a BIG covered pot. Add beans and peas, cook for 15 minutes. Add rice/barley, cook for ten minutes. Add pasta and carrots, cook five minutes. Drain, cool, bag and freeze. Serves hundreds. Everything stays sort of semi-hard. most birds prefer it that way, (like canned beans). you can dress it up with other veggies, add peppers to the pot or change the pasta types. And each bird has favourites in the mix, but generally they all eat most of it.

Crack the egg open into a bowl....add the egg shell to the blender.... blend it well....at the end add the egg and blend more.....if you add the egg too early it foams up, so I blend everything else first. Add the liquid to the muffin mix....I usually put in ¾and mix it then add the rest as needed....if it is too dry you can put in a little water...I never had to add water. Spray PAM into an 8 x 8 pan Add in any extras you want.....cranberry...Harrison's etc. Mix then pour into the pan and bake. Check it with a toothpick after 25 min. and add time if you need to.

Cook on high in half-hour increments for one and a half hours. Add water each half hour. Drain, cool and pack in small bags and freeze. Defrost in hot water and feed.
