Posted by Ashleigh on 1/13/08

I just tried this will all my birds, and my B&G LOVED it,
and even kept asking for more :). Heck even my sun conure
liked it! And he is so picky! I also added some fresh
berries into it whole. I will definatly be tweaking and
playing with this so my birds can get a variety. Thanks so
much for the great recipe! :)
