Blue & Gold Macaw, Madison;
Yellow Naped Amazon, Rocky;
Timneh African Grey, Tyler
Just wondering if anyone else sees this.
Madison is about 11 or 12 years old now but she still eats soft food like a baby. You know, stuffing her beak full and trying to swallow it all at once with those head bobs. Makes eating REALLY messy and takes a lot longer since she never breaks pieces off, just tries to swallow it whole.
She sometimes does this with hard food for a few seconds when she's overexcited.
None of my other birds do it. I don't think it's a Macaw thing though, I figure maybe it's because she was hand fed for longer than most birds.
Doesn't bother her or me, just thought it was weird
