new 2 pfowl........ mine love blueberries too but they are expensive here and I have about 25 pet peafowl
kuntrygirl.......... yep, the watermelon is soon pecked out even into the rind. It's a great treat on hot late afternoons and gives them something to do. Can't imagine any passing watermelon up. New 2 pfowl, let one get ripe and sweet. Cut it in two and scoop a little out with your fingers and let them taste it from you hand. Do they eat from your hand? They prefer the soft middle of the melon that is easy to peck into most.
Faith SL........ shrimp, yams and cinnamon, sounds like you've been coached by Resolution. I don't know about the figs....have never fed them but try to give all the food Kermit suggests. Mine get shrimp too. Do you give them raw? Do you leave shell, tail, head on the shrimp? Mine get shrimp too. I just put some in the freezer I bought on sale. Also purchased spices he recommends. Are you using Ultrakibble?
Yoda......... regarding red colored fruit and veggies. Mine eat some but prefer green. They don't dive in after red tomatoes like they do the yellow pear, cherry size that I quarter or split depending on size. I plant a couple Yellow Pear Tomato plants and they eat them all summer. The plants spread like crazy if untrimmed and produce lots!! YEP!, $20 but the walnuts go a long way when just given a few. Not long ago they weren't nearly that expensive. If giving potatoes, use yams. They are very nutritional and the birds love them. You can leave them a little firm so they're easy to cube but I always forget and they end up somewhat mashed, haha!!! No matter....they are one of my peafowl's favorite. Bananas too!! They love them and they're healthy treats.
Trefoil...... have given them eggs, especially for breakfast on cold mornings. I scramble them. Will get some frozen peas to add to the next feeding. I think I gave them peas once and they consumed them readily but forgot about them. Thanks!
country_girl011........ OH!! mine love their grapes too, especially the sweet red ones but they eat them all. Forget strawberries, mine eat a few but it's not worth the effort so won't even try anymore. Have never tried pineapple and won't now. LOL on the french fries. I love them too but try to stay clear of them. My husband is like a kid when it comes to french fries...he can't get enough, haha!! Regarding corn....my peas like corn on the cob cooked or raw but I have to scrape the corn off.
OK, we have a good start. Don't forget to post daily what you're feeding. I often skip days but they have Gamebird Feed and Ultrakibble Available at all times. I give those in the pens Purina Cat Chow in the blue bag a couple times a week for animal protein. I've tried other pet food even my Mini Aussies expensive Earthborn Holistic kibble but they just plain love the Purina Chow.
