- Icarus the Moustached Parakeet, Smudge, Pudge (RIP), and Floki the Budgies
I'm so excited! I fiiinally got Icarus to start munching on fruits and veggies! He's been terribly stubborn about trying anything and gives me a look like I'm trying to poison him whenever I offer a piece. Especially if it's green.
But I learned the trick! If he watches me eat a few pieces he'll try it. Even GREEN things! In fact, snow peas are a new favorite.
I even tested it. I offered a slice of apple and he refused. Then I ate a couple apple slices in front of him. I offered the same slice of apple... and all of a sudden it's super yummy and he's asking for more. Silly birdy, getting me to snack healthy.
