Can you bake this and make your own bird bread?

Technically you could but you would need other additional items like egg, baking powder, oil etc. This is mainly a powder formula for conversion resistant birds or bird owners who do not want to go thru the trouble of a diet conversion from seeds to nuggets.

Any tips on how to convert a stubborn parakeet to this?

You can sprinkle the powdered mash it on a moist seed treat. Someone else said they add the mash to a heart healthy pancake mix and make pancakes for the birds as a treat. The latter option wouldn't technically convert a bird to the pellets, but it would be a way to add extra nutrition to a bird's diet. In regards to another person's comment, it is definitely worth paying the price for this brand of pellets because it's extremely healthy. I am on a limited income, so I buy a pound of Harrison's fine grind Adult Formula pellets and offer my six birds the pellets a couple of times a week as a treat. They love it, and a pound lasts about 3 months for 6 birds ranging in size from a budgie to a cockatoo. If a bird has difficulty accepting Harrison's, then I'd recommend trying a different pelleted bird food like Zupreme fruit blend. Pellets offer complete nutrition to birds and help prevent health problems (fewer vet bills), and help them live long lives. My oldest birds, for example, are 26, 23 and 21. I've had them since they were babies, and they have been on pellets and since they were weaned.

Is there a difference in look or texture or consistency between this and the high potency mash?

There's not a difference in texture or consistency between this and the high potency mash. However, there's a slight color difference between the two because the high potency mash is richer in calories and nutrients that are geared toward young birds (under 1 year) who are just being weaned. High potency mash or pellets can also be used for sick birds at any age. I've used it as a "treat" for my green cheek conures because one of them has a hard time keeping his weight up to where it needs to be.
