I made a salad and baked potatoes tonight for dinner since it was just way to hot to even think about using the stove. I figured I'd let Ducati try some potato and see if he likes it. I offered him a piece after he saw me eating some and no go. So I ate that piece to show him how good it was and offered another piece. He screamed like a little girl and ran away. Then just stares at me, "Why would you give me the same thing? That's just rude!". I'm still giggling over it lol.

You can't fool him! Ha!

Reminds me of when I first got my eckie and I offered him a bite of a peach I was eating. He flew away and crapped. So then I cut some up thinking he'd be less scared if it were small.. but no. He angrily pecked it out of my hand. He still won't eat peaches. Weird bird -- they're my favourite!

Sootie is almost always afraid of new food. She was terrified of blueberries and now they're one of her favorites. I have to offer it to her and let her be afraid, then let her see me eating it and then just leave it somewhere within her reach and not acknowledge it or offer it again. Eventually she'll go over to it when she thinks I'm not looking and try it. Yesterday I caught her nibbling half a sugar snap pea on the back of the sofa she'd been too frightened to eat an hour earlier. They're so weird with their little habits!

Haha Very cute, they always make us laugh.

That is too funny! Ducati must have been expecting something better the second time around

I don't know if I have mentioned it before, but I absolutely LOVE his name!!!

What kind of potato was it? I ask because Larry would not eat russett, but he did try some red potatoes and another time sweet potato.
How funny Ducati

Thanks everybody! He definitely is a trip.

Terry: Maybe he thought I was giving him a banana (he loves those) lol. Thanks. That was his name before we got him and we liked it so much we didn't want to change it.

MrsKay: It was a russet. I'll try different potatoes. He might like sweet potato since he seems to like the sweeter stuff. Maybe I'll make some homemade oven fries and see if he'll eat that.

Ducatimom, maybe the previous owners had a Ducati motorcycle. Maybe Ducati is a BikerBird hehe

I bet he'll like the sweet potato

Ducatimom · Jul 21, 2014

I'll have to ask her where they got the name. I still text her every now and then.

I'll have to try the sweet potatoes. I can see him really liking those.
