Is this normal? (GCC)

[Callimari]

Hello! so... I have a question... yet another "is this normal" type :x

I have recently reintroduced carrots to my gcc Pumpkin... at first I had cut them up into itty bitty pieces... then sticks.... and found she had more fun with the sticks.. then medallions.. still had fun with the medallions.. then I noticed something odd...

She would just... bite into the carrots, take off a piece.. then drop it back in the dish/around dish... the pieces are pretty much a mouthful size... then later she would revisit the dish of now chopped up looking carrots and THEN eat them.....

Is this normal? is she breaking up the carrot(sometimes other greens) to make it easier to eat? is she trying to dry them out? is the carrot too cold? (although same behavior when I warmed them up a little for her) because it's almost as if she likes the drier ones more then the fresh ones.... or is she playing with her food?
Thoughts?

Thoughts: she's eating carrots!

It could be that she likes them warmer. Or dryer. Or you know how some people cut their entire meal up into bite sizes before eating? She could be doing that.

Or she could just be having fun with her food.

Take your pick. Any, or even all, of the above. Is it normal? For her it seems to be.

think some birds chop their own food.
my Eclectus seems to chop and mash up everything on first visit to fresh bowl
and keeps returning and munching till he is done with it that's on the fresh fruit and veggies.

Yep- except my Kyo prefers throwing them on the floor and then flying down to get the pieces haha

Agreeing with above... she's interacting with her food... sounds great to me!
