lol, they might seem to be throwing it, but they are ripping bite sized pieces from it. Lol. Mine love it, make such a mess of it before eating it up. Ducks go nuts for it. Did you try peas again yet? Mush them just a little...
All of our birds, but especially the ducks go crazy over peas! Every night in the winter my birds get a "late night snack" before locking them up. Most nights it's a little bit of warm corn. Sometimes whole sometimes cracked or fresh. I kinda spoiled the ducks and gave them a lot of frozen peas boiled in sugar water.
