What's your birds "crack"?

KatherineI · Jun 8, 2012

In our family, whenever a pet goes completely overboard for a particular food, toy, activity, we refer to it as their "crack".

We've discovered Sugar's crack is Safflower Seeds. Loki's is Green Grapes and French Fries (really unhealthy, I know!! He's only had them twice, and only 2 at that, I swear!). Loki will do just about anything for a french fry, and almost anything for grapes.

So, what's your birds "crack"? I'm curious!

Ziggy's is pumpkin seeds and popcorn, billie will sell his soul for a jalapeno chip though he doesn't get them often. And Rasta, well, she thinks whatever is in front of her is her favorite thing!

Ooh, yeah Sugar really likes popcorn too but Safflower takes the cake!

Cracker's " crack " would have to be Butter.. I don't let her eat it of course.but she has tasted it and that was all it took . I have to keep the butter dish hidden whenever she is around. If she sees it she just goes nuts...
She is also crazy about Bananas ,dates and almonds
Cosmo's thing is sweet potatoes and apples

Pearls is Nutriberries.She would follow me ANYWHERE for one.

Peppers is peanuts (We occasionally give her the unsalted ones that are not in the shell, she doesn't get them often but will go crazy for one) Sunny, Bo, and Mozzie's are apples, and Casey's is scrambled eggs (and every human food she can get a hold of). She loves people food!

Boomer's crack food used to be mango, but now he goes crazy for corn on the cob!

I would have to say it's yoghurt (better hide it fast or she will try to stick her whole head into it

) and my computer mouse :11: though grapes and sunflower seeds are reeeealy close too

Almonds are usually a pretty good birdie crack, but of course he likes the unhealthy stuff WAY better!

He will drop whatever he's doing when I cook my morning breakfast though. He has to share a bit of it with me. Apparently english muffins or croissants are just the absolute best thing in the world to him.

And potato chips/french fries/mashed potatoes. He loves all 3. We don't have them often, but when we do he always gets a little bit (the fries and chips get wiped off first!). Mashed potatoes will be eaten before anything else in his dish every time. Almond butter is another one he loses it over. He loves the stuff! A few times a week I'll put the tiniest dab on his chopped apples and he just dives in.

I wonder if I could put some honey or peanut butter on some of their fresh stuff, such as apples, to try and get them to eat it? I've never tried that. I tried some fresh ginger and they wouldn't touch anything in the bowl that day :11:

klaus' crack is.... dun dun dunnn..... sunflower seeds. >;[
don't think cloud has any yet..

Amigo, ALWAYS, loves raw shelled walnuts. His "crack" veggie would have to be, sugar snap peas and his favorite fruit is watermelon.

Sassy's favorite thing in the world would have to be, a straw bundle, dipped in peanut butter! She loves food from our plate but having a hard time getting to eat her veggies and fruits from her bowl!

I tried it with some broccoli the other day (and I had really mashed it in there too). He just licked it all off. I told him I could see I was going to have to up my sneak factor.

Moche's "crack" is bread/tortilla chips. He's a carbohydrate lover just like his mama

Charlie isn't food motivated AT ALL it seems, but she will mow down on some freshly sliced apple.

solobaby · Jun 9, 2012

Bolo is normally a reserved, classy guy, but he is fool for peanuts! (shelled, unsalted)

Roxy_9_2011 · Jun 9, 2012

Roxy's is banana chips. If I shake the bag they're in, she goes nuts and will put her wings up before I ask her to
