Mine got my leftover birthday cake on a paper plate and loved it so much I think they ate half the plate!

Mine love grapes, too!! They see me carrying that bunch out to them and they go wild!! Mine also love Romaine lettuce which I leave whole and hang with baling twine from the top of their run. It's funny to watch them 'forage' for it by jumping up to get it, plus I feel like it gives them something to do on days I can't let them free range in the yard. Mine also love cheese, cooked brown rice, matchstick carrots, frozen cooked corn, and Cheerios.
I've never tried cranberries...or turkey carcasses...but I know where our next turkey carcass is gonna go! Can't wait to try that!

Make them a pretty salad of chopped kale and fresh cranberries. Very Christmasy and good for them.

Not that they will appreciate the aesthetics of course but they will definitely gobble it up, plus they get a little more exercise chasing the berries. I chopped a few of the first cranberries I ever gave them a bit so that they didn't have to wait to see what they were getting

Mine looooove bananas! They go crazy for them. They also go for chopped up tomatoes. That is the first thing that disappears from the plate every time.
Today, I gave them some mushed up banana, crumbled up shortbread cookies, and cucumber. They were very happy campers....so much so that they forgot that they wanted out of the run. Lol....I'll let them out later. We have a little snow on the ground today

I put some mealworms in a container and put it in their stocking.
