Birdie Muffins

Today I am sharing a recipe that I've created based on a bird bread mix. These mini muffins include tons of nutrition for your little bird. I hope your feathered friends enjoy them!

These muffins may be a little big for keets or lovies, so make sure you break them into little pieces when you feed them to your bird.
