My bird swallows her pellets whole

[notscaredtodance]

Hey guys, long time no see. I have a senegal parrot who is fed harrisons adult lifetime fine pellets. She doesnt chew them. She swallows them whole. Anyone else's bird do this? I'm not concerned, just find it interesting, since a lot of the birds at the store crack them in half and grind them up, or soak them in water until they're mushy before they'll eat them.

Can't say i've seen that before but i do have birds that "wolf" some of their favorite soft foods.

My nanday conure scoops them up by the mouthful and swallows most whole while my ringneck and crimson wing chew them up properly...crazy birds
