     ABOUT BIRDBRAIN-NYC   

 

My refrigerator contains more bird food than I care to admit. I believe, along with most bird owners, that nutrition is the key to a long lived and health bird. However being an average working person it becomes difficult to give my two feathered friends, Crayon and Eve, the variety of foods that they deserve. Most foods will spoil during the day and should not be left in food dishes for long periods of time. I want them to enjoy nutritious foods with out them spoiling during the day. I find it difficult to find a good amount of variety in most stores. Or I find that I don't necessarily have the time to do so. I was sitting at my dinner table eating Chinese take-out , my birds drooling in my direction at food that they can't have and came up with the idea of these recipes. Foods for our feathered friends that can be given whenever, and that can be left in their dishes through out the day.
