Homemade Seed Bell
Posted: 02 Aug 2010, 13:20
Well i found a recipe for making my own seed bells for my birds.
1 Cup of seed (normaly the seed they usually get fed)
1 Egg White (not yolk) per Cup of seed
20cm piece of wire (curl at one end and stick into the seed bell with enough wire sticking out to make a hook to hang up in cage)
1 Terracotta Pot (small or what ever size desired) small fits best with one cup of seed)
1 Oven Bag (place in terracotta pot before placing the seed & wire in)
Make sure you mix the egg white evenly threw the seed!
Preheat oven at 100c, Cook for 1 hour.
I also add a spoon of shell grit to the mix!
and if i have any, dryied crushed chicken egg shells! (finely crushed)
I love doing this for my birds and they love them just as much, they hook into the home made one before the seed bells and seed treat sticks i buy from the supermarket!

) but they can devour these in 5 minutes flat so went back to the store bought ones ( super sized and super glued ) but will try this for the finches who may not be so piggy .
