Adding crushed pellets, broccoli buds, or grated carrots to the recipe, will add more vitamins into your bird's diet. You can hide just about anything in bird bread so experiment with different foods. You can also heat your bird's frozen pieces of bread in the microwave for a few seconds and serve it warm.
