I'm new to owning 2 Amazons, and I'm wondering what everyone else's Amazons love to eat! So far one of mine loves fresh blueberries, but the other one is a really picky eater! I'm going to be trying some of your birds favorite foods/treats, and maybe she will come around to some of them!

Peas and pine nuts top the list. Rome does eat most veggies, but only if they are cooked first (heaven forbid she get served raw veggies - such a princess :20:).

I think spaghetti is the hands down favorite with all 3.

Rowdy will eat pretty much anything.

Pete, the zon, now thinks carrots are one of the greatest things ever invented. They must be cooked though. He also really likes corn, green beans and peas. We are working on broccoli and asparagus. He loves all nuts, but I give sparingly as he is a bit fat.

I forgot about spaghetti, that is a big favorite with Rome too.

Roxynoodle any time I give Rome broccoli she eats the stalk and discards the top :11:. Opposite with strawberries. The first time we gave her a strawberry she ate the green top and threw the strawberry at the wall, which slide all the way down the wall leaving a lovely red streak for me to clean.

When we first got our Blue Fronted Amazon, she was a very picky eater. But she loves a lot of things now. Her favorites are Sweet Potatoes (which is really good for them because Amazons need Vitamin A in their diet) and Apples, and blueberries, and scambled eggs are other favorites.

Grapes. They're the only food Pixel doesn't waste any of. She LOVES them. She once accidentally dropped one through the grate in the bottom of her cage, and just about lost her mind trying to get to it

My BF Amazons don't have a favorite they eat anything i give them. Because i like to give them variety they usually get different foods every day but i would have to say they absolutely love passionfruit & chilie peppers.

Twitter, 3yo greencheek conure..Paco 15yo Orangewing Amazon.
Paco loves corn, my greencheek hates corn.My greenie loves peas but Paco doesnt touch them.LOL
They both love my birdie bread.Its made with wholewheat, flax meal, canned pumpkin and organic olive oil, eggs and whatever veggies I have around like peas, corn, blueberries or whatever.
Both love apples, they both will eat sweet potatoes but not their fave.Oranges are always a big hit.Ive not given any grapes to Paco yet.The ones at the store are yucky looking, but twitter would kill for grapes.

Puffin loves blackberries!!!! If you could see his beak after he eats them it is priceless! His other real loves are fresh chilli, pomegranite ,pistachio nuts and pizza. If he even gets a wiff of pizza he starts yelling "yummy, yummy" so we give him a tiny bit of the crust and he thinks he is the luckiest bird alive!

He is not a fan of grapes of any sort or broccolli but will eat silverbeet and spinach.

Lol, pizza crust with a bit of sauce is like the prize around here! They haven't had any since Pete's celebrated hatch day. I will order one for Rowdy's as well.
