What is your bird's favorite food?

Piper: Not too picky but she'll go nuts for a Nutriberry.
Shade: ANY food really...don't know if she has a utmost preferred food. On top of the list would be peas and carrots.
Joey: Not very food oriented. Not sure I could bribe him with any particular food over another..
Zuri: Will do just about anything for a Nutriberry or an almond.
Petey: First place would have to go to cook pasta. I'm trying to get her to say "Noodle" in an enthusiastic voice. She does know what "noodle" stands for, but isn't saying it yet...She also has a weak spot for Nutriberries and almonds.

Kili likes a lot of things. I can often get her to even do tricks for alternate pellets. However her top treats include apples, oatmeal, and nuts. For cage foods she likes carrots and string beans the best. String beans are number one for that because she can chew the shells and then eat the peas out of the inside. That's why she likes peppers too.

Noodle's favorite food is carrots. His favorite treat is dried mango. I use that only for training and such.
I don't know about Marvin yet. We're still trying things out

My budgies will devour sprouted bird seed, they cant get enough of it. but they also love fresh grass seeds, and native flowers like eucalyptus (gum) blossoms, and grevillea flowers.
My cockatiels freak out when they see me coming from the garden with a handful of fresh picked grass seeds! They really love parsely too, but unfortunately this is something they can only have in small amounts due to some of the potential health risks associated with eating too much parsley.
parrots arent mere ornaments, and they're hardly "just a pet" they are intelligent and emotional creatures who want our companionship. As a bird owner, its a pleasure to make my parrots lives as happy, enriched and healthy as possible

Although we have him only one week, Cookie's favourite foods are grapes and apples, however we gave him some rice and he likes it too. Cookie's current training treat is mainly apple, however sometimes we give grapes and rice. :senegal:
