TOPS can be a tricky food because it isn't fatty---but it gets eaten pretty readily in a birdie bread (I've got a recipe for it in the Health & Nutrition section).

It honestly doesn't take as much time in the kitchen as you think---for me to make 2 months worth of birdie bread and 3 months worth of veggie mash it takes 6 hours in the kitchen total, ONCE A MONTH.
Every first weekend I pick a day n spend it making bird food, personally I think the health benefits are worth disturbing my lazy butt.


I take it this is the posts for the tops bread?

I just edited the post above, found I think what looks like some good sites with bread...

I guess I'll try soaking the TOPS in a juice or mashed up fruit to soak up the flavors to try and get BeBe to then eat it...

Or since birds typcally like sunflowers maybe lightly spray the pellets with sunflower oil...
BeBe :gcc:
