Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

That's the beauty of chop - you can hide stuff they might otherwise turn their beaks up at in it, haha. This batch of chop is quinoa, oats, beetroot, carrot, collard greens, and bell pepper.

You could also try some bird bread for her. I make some from scratch from time to time, but they do make mixes. Harrison's has one that tastes a lot like their pellets, so you can also use it as a conversion tool to get birds eating pellets. They used it like that to get a pair of budgies (which are notoriously hard to convert) to eat pellets when before they wouldn't touch anything but millet spray.

I'm still unsure of the name. I like Rowan, but I'm not sure yet if that really fits his personality.

Hummmm

Not sure if that would work.

She eats off of our plates.... and if we are eating something too healthy... she will not eat it. And that is with watching us eating it!

We often eat salad... but rarely can we get her to touch it, and then she just bites the ribs of Romain, I don't think she swallows.



I have gotten her to eat a cockateil sized pellet... NOT one of the better quality brands (I am familiar with Harrison's, good product. Ages back, when I had parrots i weaned them all onto Roudybush, which is also good). Anyway... she will eat the tiny brightly colored cockatiel pellets... but not enough for her daily intake.. .

Whatever.... crazy bird... I keep trying, offering her different stuff.



Her saving grace is that she does lots of flying daily, so that should help.

Ponders good morning one and all!

The temperature is 32 and sunny.

I don't think the temp got down to 19 last night.

Have a great day!

The temp is -17 C right now (1.4 F). It's actually nice compared to some of the temps we've had lately! And it's relatively sunny out!

Hope your weather is as nice as ours today

We had a small earthquake this morning. DH, like the transplant he is, ran screaming thru the house, “EARTHQUAKE! EARTHQUAKE!”

The kids, being the natives that they are, never moved from their chairs & barely looked up from their phones to say, “uh huh.” “yep.”
