Maybe the sharing applies to Greys, but just yesterday Clover and Lemon each had an almond nut of their own to crack and I turn around 30 minutes later to find Lemon yelling as Clover chased him around because she had finished hers already. :roll:

When Myrtle ate her very first French fry it went down fast. Rambo started screaming. She was holding on to his French fry trying to pull it out of his hands (feet).

I hope we are talking about organic, no-salt, baked fries and not the real thing which is SOOOO very unhealthy for them.

You are not alone. My life revolves around my kids.
I spend a lot on pet foods. I have changed to natural and organic foods for my furry pets and the best I can find for the birds. Grapes are down to $1.99 a pound so I actually get to eat some of them.

Shareing is a relative thing In order to share you have to have enough to share, it is not like the birds in the study were given a couple of treats to see if they would share that with another bird. But they did make the conscious choice that would ensure that it was not the only one to get a treat. That is not shareing as in I have this sandwich so you can have part of it, it is more akin to sharing the abundance of having enough by saying, I have enough food so I am sending this much food your way so that you can eat and feed your family for a few days. Both are sharing, but in different contexts.

No I was bad. I just got Myrtle and she was wide open to try new things. I gave each a regular French fry but I did wipe the salt off them first. That was four years ago. They each got another one recently for being good babies at their finale check up before moving them here.
