Itty Bitty Birdie Bites©
As you have probably noticed
from our website, the amount of food products that we carry is very
limited. We are extremely fussy about the food we stock and prefer
not to carry many of the processed mainstream products with ingredients
(listed and hidden) that are unpronounceable. Instead we try search
out smaller companies that manufacture a more natural product line without
artificial coloring and preservatives.
We've had a number of
requests for more healthy food choices and especially for a snack line to
add to what we already carry. We are thrilled to introduce Itty
Bitty Birdie Bites , a ine of healthy treats, food toppings and warm meal
offerings. They are also the source of our FID
Flours and Simple
Sprouts.
The products on this page
contain only human-grade ingredients without preservatives, color
enhancers, synthetic nutrients or anything artificial. All the
ingredients are individually hand picked, one by one to insure that
nothing dented, blemished, bruised or discolored is used in the making of
these foods. All the ingredients are also cleaned and processed
individually by hand. This insures that you are getting the absolute
freshest and highest quality ingredients in each item that you buy.
Now how many food companies can claim that? This food is also about
intriguing shapes, textures, tantalizing smells and yummy tastes.
Yummy tastes?? Yes, everything that we plan to stock is examined and
actually eaten by me before it goes to my guys and yes, I have sampled
everything we carry. Once it gets past me, my guys get to taste it
and they have to love it before it goes on our website. Please note
that these items are available in small quantities only, but are meant to
be used sparingly as add-ins, toppings and snacks. They are also a
little pricey, but this is because of the high quality and organic
ingredients that are used. I hope that
your birds enjoy these foods as much as our guys do!
Hint:
It is important to feed your bird a varied diet complete with as much
fresh food as possible. Leafy greens (especially the dark ones) and
fresh veggies should be a large part of your bird's diet. It is also
recommended that you incorporate fruits, pastas, beans, grains and sprouts
into your bird's diet as well. Be sure to provide variety and not
get into a rut of feeding the same unimaginative thing over and over. Can you imagine
having to eat the same thing day in and day
out? Keep in mind that food is more than sustenance and
nutrition. It provides enjoyment and promotes natural foraging
instincts as a bird searches through a dish for a favorite tidbit.
Helpful
Hint #2: Your bird won't eat leafy greens or those oh-so-good
orange and yellow veggies? Maybe its the quality of what you are
buying. Consider buying fresh (not the processed, already cleaned, cut and
bagged). For instance, my guys don't like fresh
carrots in a bag, but they go nuts for the ones with the carrot tops
still on AND eat they love the greens. If you compare them side by
side for taste, you will notice a big difference. With regard to those leafy greens, try a
couple of varieties that have firm stems and feed the stems with a bit of leaf attached.
Most birds can't resist chewing on the stems and will often indulge in
eating some of the green leaf.
