So since I brought home my AG I have been trying to introduce her to all sorts of vegies and fruits. Well we have no problem with fruits since they are sweet and tasty. But vegies is a completely different story. For example corn. I gave her alllll sorts of corn: cooked, not cooked, small pieces, big pieces, tried to eat the corn in front of her and show here how I enjoyed it ect. ect. nothing worked. So I gave up and yesterday bought a corn for myself only, well guess who decided to join my meal...You are right "Miss do the opposite" decided that corn was here most favorite food and ate my corn:32:

There is a saying Monkey see Monkey do LoL

When ever offering Mishka something new, I have to eat it first, otherwise he refuses to even taste it. When weaning him, I also had to first eat the pellets, they are really yuck, but fooled him and showed him how much I enjoyed them.

Works 99% of the time.

That's right. I can sing to my bird, dance to her, speak to her, but nothing will get her attention better that the plate I hold... LOL

The interesting thing is that I tried this tricked but it didn't work then. Only when I truly decided to eat a corn by myself she was suddenly there. Maybe that's because I am not very talented actress. :)

Of course you must be a good actress, she did what you did and eat it.
