judygram Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Mine likes apples too and does not like bananas, it might be the texture of them she refuses, but I continue to offer for one day she might surprise me. Yeah right.:woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lidia Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Joshua loves apples, but only hard, green granny smiths. He loves melon of any sort, but is not too fond of bananas and kinds of beaks it and then spits it out. He's not crazy about kiwis, but loves oranges (mandarines, tangerines, clementines, satsumas, etc), he LOVES pomegranate and would eat it all day long if he could. He also likes persimmons (sharon fruit) and will eat a lot of that if it's ripe, and also kumquats, lychees, cherries, blueberries, blackberries. He won't eat strawberries. He will eat pear, but only until he discovers it is not apple, and then he spits it out. He also loves fresh and tinned pineapple, mango, peaches, nectarines and ripe gooseberries (I like them sour, so he doesn't get too many). Incidentally, Joshua LOVES picking the apple seeds from granny smith apples and eating them. However, I know apple seeds are poisonous (if consumed in large enough quantity) and cumulatively poisonous (if consumed often enough), so I am careful.<br><br>Post edited by: Lidia, at: 2007/07/06 13:59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monique Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 My Grey is horrible picky and he doesn't like anything I put in his dish but I just keep putting it in there. BUT when you feed him by hand something you are eating, he will eat it. (Go figure!) My Macaw LOVES bananas. Blueberries are very nutritional - lots of antioxidants!!

God, you all have very polite birds! Joshua would eat an entire apple (well, shred an entire apple to get at the seeds) if he could get away with it (he has done it in the past). Monique, thanks for the update on blueberries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 You are so right, greylover, they are not supposed to have apple seeds, don't let him have any more, I would not want anything to happen to your baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this now, but I didn't know it eighteen years ago when I started letting him eat apple seeds!!!! If you look down through the posts, you'll see I said apple seeds were poisonous at about 13:56 today.<br><br>Post edited by: Lidia, at: 2007/07/06 23:49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Opps, sorry Lidia, I must have overlooked that part of your post, but it bears repeating for those who did not know that. Thanks for pointing that out for me, I must have been having a senior moment, I have a lot of those lately it seems.:blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Talon hated banana's, but just recently started eating the rest of mine if it's only about an inch or so left, and still in the skin.:side: Apple Seeds have cyanide in them, that's why they can be bad for greys.

judygram Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Josey does not seem to like the texture of bananas, as soon as I offer her some she turns away, now if you put some pasta or rice in front of her she will shovel it in.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lidia Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Pasta, Joshua would sell his soul for pasta. Especially if it had bolognese sauce AND cheese on it. He can put a lot away as well! Greylover and Judy, sorry about my snippiness last night, I don't know why I was so defensive. Maybe pure egoism because you hadn't read down to the bottom of my post!!!!!
