Greetings,
I would like to make some solid seed treats for my budgies; I was told thje
the seed could could be bound wirh PVA glue, but a reluctant to try this.
Does anybody know of a effect non-toxic binder I could use?

Super-glue would probably be better. Just stick a whole bunch of small
stones and bits of wood together with super glue, then cover it with a
delicious coat of sand.

....sut beriously, PVA?

Maybe use melted sugar or honey.

I have made one once using organic sesame butter, sorghum molasses, seeds
and rice flour. I mixed the butter with the rice flour until a firm ball and
dried in oven. then I rolled it in sorghum molasses, a thin coating and
then rolled in kaytee bird seed. I have found brown rice flour to be the
most nutritious.
