Coffeecake...Buster's favorite breakfast! Of course it's not just a regular coffeecake but one I devised over the years after reading about what another bird owner prepared for her bird to make sure he got enough vitamins, etc.
Here's how I make Buster's (I know it's a bit absurd, but what can I say ( :
I mix 3 eggs, shells broken up, together
then I add 1 15 ounce can crushed pineapple in its own juice
1 cup or so of regular raw oatmeal
1 baked sweet potato, mashed
Sometimes I add leftover potatoes, rice, vegetables, macaroni, etc
It should resemble a cake batter. I pour it into a 13 x 9 pan sprayed with cooking spray and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or so. I just want the coffeecake to pull away from the sides of the pan so it is a little underdone rather than overdone. When it's cool, I cut it into about 10 squares, put each in a zip lock bag and freeze them.
Serving: I break off about a tablespoon of coffee cake, add a little water to make it more soupy, then I add a tablespoon of unsweetened applesauce, some chunks of cooked egg, a few chunks of fruit and maybe a few chunks of cooked rice crackers.
The first thing he grabs is the egg chunks! Do you have any special treats for your bird?
