The only special tool needed is a candy or instant-read thermometer, for the Israeli halvah. Otherwise, these recipes are very simple to makeâany recipe that has survived 3000 years should be!
The Base Diet for Birds: Food That Is Balanced. In the wild, birds eat a vast variety of foods: seeds, nuts, grasses, flowers, fruits, insects, the list goes on. The change in seasons brings new types of foods, and birds nourish themselves on whatâs available.
Birds should not be offered many of the foods humans eat. 1  Bread (fresh or stale): provides no real nutritional value for birds; moldy bread can harm birds. 2  Chocolate: toxic to birds, just as it is to dogs and cats (it contains theobromine); never offer birds any foods containing chocolate.
