.. Amy is a difficult one to please as far as food goes..along with other things I give him peppers of different flavors/colors. Green and red and yellow..sometimes I buy whole peppers sometimes I buy a pre-made plastic container with diced peppers,only to find them on his basement floor or on the grass in his front yard :mad:
Went shopping the other day and saw chili peppers..Thinking back on how the Rickey Bird can't live without them I bought 6...just to see.
I cut one into quarters and put in Amys bowl and checked a little later expecting to find them in his basement..There were no remnants in his bowl,couldn't find anything in his basement either. looked around his front yard and found just a small piece of SKIN..What the?? did he actually EAT them?

Yesterday morning I gave him some more. He was on his playpen and I had a piece in my fingers. He RAN (if Amazons "run") to me to take it from my fingers..he only does that with banana's lol

So thank-you Ms Gail and Rickey Bird for the idea lol. i may have found something he'll eat and not throw away.

Julio believes that there is a difference between red and green ones. He will only eat them if they are green. Aaa, the joy of natural selection! Rickeybird to the rescue!

Jim, try jalapeno and ghost peppers too. The hotter the better. Salty loves them!

Oh poor Beebs! Maybe he needs to come live with his Auntie Inger where he won’t be so horribly mistreated [emoji6]
