Cockatiel Seed “Tweets”

Tweet, Tweet!

I have had the pleasure of working with QVC Program Host Carolyn Gracie many times!  If you don’t know Carolyn, she’s super sweet, down-to-Earth and a huge pet lover!!  I try to always come up with a pet treat recipe when we have a show together and this will be our 7th recipe (Links to others below) and the first for our feathered pet friends!  “Cockatiel Seed Tweets”

I make them in a food processor…I just so happened to use my super-awesome KitchenAid 9-Cup Food Processor! ( :  The recipe calls for whole eggs, which I thought was interesting!  Carolyn tells me the shells provide calcium for the birdies.  The food processor “crunches” them up perfectly!  I hope your birdies enjoy the recipe!

The recipe calls for whole eggs, which I thought was interesting!  I have learned the shells provide calcium for the birdies.  The food processor "crunches" them up perfectly!  I hope your birdies enjoy the recipe!
