It's a hot sunny day :smile023:

So the guys are having a fruit salad of sorts...

Why didn't I make one for me???

The 'Flavour Beak' for this meal...
Carrot
Porridge
Sesame Seeds
Coconut
Pomegranate
Red Currents
Black Currents
Raspberries
Blackberries
Kiwi
Banana

Dexter was straight into the berries!



Bella tossed out the Banana and Kiwi...
She hadn't made it to the berries at this point!

Sounds like a super mixture Billdore!

I'm guessing it is popular, based on the size of the blob on and around the beak of your grey!

Thanks for joining in :)

I appreciate all the 'Flavour Beak' photos submitted.

The idea is having a fun visual way to learn about what eachother are feeding our fids and hopefully inspire others to try new recipes and combos!

Just realised it's been a long time since I posted a 'Flavour Beak' photo

So here Gerry with a Banana 'Flavour Beak'

Though again... It's quite beard-like. So more of a 'Banana Beard'!

Mayas got some good ol' Flavour Beak action going on there!! It never ceases to amaze me just how smothered in food they get :D Yet she somehow manages to remain classy looking!

Patches' beak flavor of the morning is:

Quinoa
Peas
Broccoli
Red pepper
Egg with shell
Red grape
Mango
Carrot
Must be something else, but I loose track lol.

Not too messy, but as a general rule, he rubs and cleans the beak after every few bites. He's very particular about that gorgeous beak! Usually it's the grains that stick and build up some as he power feeds on them.

Wow, what a feast! Patches definitely looks like he's enjoying his meal! It's always interesting to see what flavours other beaks are :) Thanks for sharing

Arika - Blue & Gold Macaw
We just heated up some Goldenfeast Bonita Loco food in warm water for Arika's evening meal.
What's on her beak? It says over 40 ingredients, too many to list LOL !

Usually, she gets her cooked food on her "beard" and we have to get it off with a wet paper towel but tonight she really dove in and got it all over her beak.

While taking a break from her evening meal, she was hanging out on her long stringy toy and the bars. So I took the opportunity to snap this as she was trying to bite my cellphone.
She takes forever to eat and she makes a mess but we love every minute of it :)
