What is the favorite food for your Grey?

We have found a bunch of foods that our Grey likes but I have yet to find anything that she just loves. I'd like to find something that I can use for only training.

Auggie's not a grey, but he does have his favorites. He loves all kinds of fruits, but I have some dried blueberries that he would do anything for.

He also loves cheese (soft white cheeses like mozzarella). In small amounts cheese can be a good reward.

Mishka's favorite food is nuts and plain popcorn.
Yoghurt and cheese yummy yummy.
Training her she will get it correct just to get some plain popcorn. LoL
In the beginning when training her, I gave her small pieces of corn flakes.
Then when the popcorn popped, so did Mishka's willingness to learn appear.

Keep trying different types of foods etc, its just a matter of time !!!
Good luck

My greys love juicy things like watermelon, oranges, grapes, cantaloupe, that kind of stuff. But they also love dried figs (make sure they are naturally dried and have no preservatives whatsoever on them) and birdy bread.

My grey works for cheese, in moderation though. Second would be chicken and third would be grapes.

My greys and macaws will do anything just to get some dried bananas and other dried fruit. One of my greys is partial to graham crackers.:green1:

Severe Macaw
Pine Nuts! Our Severe Macaw Pepper loves pine nuts. I find them to be bland and not worth the effort, but she loves them.
