I'm trying to use up the only bag of TOPS I've ever bought, because no one is too crazy about it. I was disappointed since this is some good quality food, cold press processed and full of nutrients. :32: Griffin likes it, but I don't want to keep buying a whole bag for one small guy.
Anyway, Raven was getting low on pellets in his Harrison's dish. I thought I'd try throwing in about 10 or so TOPS pellets since I 'thought' I saw Raven eat some TOPS at Griffin's house once, but maybe I was wrong...:52:
Then the FUNNIEST thing happened. I wish I had it on video because it was priceless!! As Raven was eating the Harrison's crumbs and I threw in the TOPS, Raven gave a most HUMAN sounding inflection of a grumble of displeasure!
Sort of a "MMMMRRGGGHHH!" With the tone of voice as if you were enjoying your plate of food in front of you, and someone unexpectedly just threw in a handful of something you dislike into it... If your mouth was full and couldn't speak, think of the noise you'd make LOLOL!! I think if Raven had little hands he'd have reached out and slapped me haha. Then he did a few more grumbles of displeasure, and the body language that went along with it was priceless too! It was SO human-like I couldn't believe it!
SO THEN... I just dumped it all out and gave him some fresh Harrison's instead.
As you can guess, Raven then made an excited happy little "MMMM!!!" And a couple more happy peeps as he scarfed down the Harrison's.
All my birds (and past birds) ABSOLUTLEY LOVE Harrison's, including Twigs the budgie. They run to it like it's candy.
It was so funny and human-like I had to share. Probably doesn't sound like much reading it, but I bet you'd have laughed if you were there lol
