Hello Jugernught and welcome to the family, glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and Yoda, betcha I know where you got that name!
I want to hear more about this strange fascination with water and ice cubes, just what does he/she do that makes it unusual or funny, I am curious to know.
Most all greys love to tear up anything and that includes wood, at least you won't have to buy toothpicks, just let him/her make them for you.:laugh:
Like Joe suggested, offer the food in the mornings when he/she is more hungry and is more likely to take it from you. I would assume he/she will eat most anything from the bowl but is just hesitant to take it from your hand.
Take a few minutes and read some of the many threads for lots of useful information and ask questions if you have any, we will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can.
If you have any pictures of Yoda you would like to share with us we would love to see him/her.
