Ruby's favorite foods so far are scrambled eggs and chicken. Granted she's only 4 months old, but when she eats them she does the baby bird head bob thing. She gets so excited just to see it.

Max loves anything bread.

Popcorn loves bread and butter. He stole half of my English muffin the other day.

Jade doesn't really have a favorite...she just likes to try everything.

Cows only get Mad Cow if they're give beef or beef by-products from an infected cow. That's why giving livestock feed made from their species (cows, chickents, pigs, etc) is illegal in most countries.

(sorry the food nerd kicked in for a bit)

Parrots have been know to eat carrion in the wild - not often, but they do. And most birds will eat eggs from other birds' nests...again, not often. But eggs and poultry - in limited quantities - are good for parrots.

My keet's favorite foods are pizellis and pizza crusts with pepper flakes. She also bomb dives into my food dishes to investigate what I'm eating, LOL.

Maybe I'm wierd but I can't bring myself to give my bird chicken lol

LOL, same here. It feels weird having the bird eat a related cousin. I can give them eggs, but not chicken. The only meat I would give my birds is taco meat lol.

Which came first...the chicken? or the egg? lol I give Hiroshi egg as well :p I'm kind of a hypocrite:54: hehe

Sterretjie eats anything as long as it is on my plate, even if I dish it onto her own plate right in front of her she just walks past it and back to my plate.

Her favorite is slap chips - french fries (American)
She only eats the butter of the bread and throws the bread on the floor - naughty girl.:p
She loves scrambled eggs more than baked.
She chases me for cheese!
Macaroni and cheese are another favorite.

And, and, and.... :D
