Aphrodite - red throated conure (RIP)
After years of trying, I FINALLY go Parker to eat a mango!
Caught on camera no less. He’ll deny it if confronted! Mangoes are the devil!

The key: stuff it with a few nuts to get him to dig in! I’m finding this to be an invaluable method to encourage foraging and shredding.
What’s frustrating is he won’t eat anything cubes or chinked. The only way he will eat many fruits (like papaya- don mango) is if served whole. So this is so dang wasteful. But worth it if I look at it in terms of more a toy than a food item.
