JillyBeanz Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 This just proves it! There should be a law against it!!! :woohoo:
she Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Oh cute. Charlie is scared of chicken bones,he likes the chicken though.
judygram Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Josey will take a chicken bone any time, she loves to break it up to get that marrow in the middle, it is amazing how easily they can crack and dismantle that bone, thanks for sharing that pic with us, he looks to be enjoying it immensely, yum, yum good stuff.
Joolesgreyuk Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Jill, your pictures are amazing, you must either have a really good camera or you're a bit of a pro at this photography game :silly: and Harvey is such a darling. Love it!
Eckobird Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Great picture!! I never thought about giving Ecko a bone. Harvey looks like he is really enjoying it, I might have to try it with Ecko, he might be scared of it though lol!
Tycos_mom Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Boy Harvey doesn't like chicken much (he loves it) so cute my birds would eat chicken every day of their lives if I let them they just love it also. Beautiful picture by the way Harvey is a really pretty Grey.
ranaz Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Great Picture Jill. Kookie is scared of the bone and chicken, he wouldnt come near it... {Nature-00020095}{Nature-00020095}
Moobu Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Lol this is a funny picture. I actually get very weird looks when I tell people I have fed my birds chicken or eggs. I have to ask them does it make us cannibals when we eat our fellow mammals like cows? They seem to not look at it so weird then.
sxedanimalsxe Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 I am a vegetarian so I am torn about what I will feed my grey. I would like to not feed him such things, but if its going to deprive him of a healthy life, that isn't fair... maybe some more research is needed before I make a final call.
sxedanimalsxe Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 p.s. this is a quality and funny be it disturbing photograph.
Dave007 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 You can go to a animal feeds store that sells all types of food for all types of animals and you can purchase a bag of oyster chips and give about 1/2 tablespoon of them mixed in his food ( once a week). That will provide the calcium that the birds normally get when eating different types of animal bones. Doing that will allow you to follow your feeding regimen. Make sure you get chips, not grit.<br><br>Post edited by: Dave007, at: 2009/08/31 23:34
JillyBeanz Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 I'm vegetarian too - have been for over 20 years - I don't eat anything that had a face! I don't mind other people eating meat - I don't mind preparing it either, just not my choice to eat it. All I'll say is - the peace from a chicken bone consumption is a blessing!!! :laugh:
danmcq Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 GreYt photo!! They do love those large chicken bones, especially the marrow. Speaking of chicken, I'm getting hungry. :-) How does anyone know fruit and veggies don't have a face? We just don't recognize it. They have recorded plants screaming when picked, trimmed etc. .... So I have become an Oxygenarian and survive off breathing alone. Talk about rapid weight loss....
JillyBeanz Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 Ha Ha! I've not been able to eat dinner tonight - that pea looked so human, the carrot had a little nose and the corn - well, looked like little mice! That's it Dan - I can't look at my dinner in the same way EVER again! But I'm liking your diet idea (can I still drink? Whoops, back to my favourite topic!!) :laugh:
SchroedersJen Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 For the vegitarians that dont wanna buy or deal with a ton of meat, but still like the idea of giving animal protien to their birds: Tyr freezedried mealworms. My birds love them, they are cheap and healthy for them. You can buy them online at most wild bird websites. May I suggest not kissing your fid right after meal time though?
Janfromboone Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 What a great close up. That chicken looks yummy. Tobie loves chicken,eggs, even rib eye steak. I wonder if they get more protein in their diets than we think in the wild.
sxedanimalsxe Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Haha... I don't drink either. I am no fun. No drugs, no drinking, no meat... haha my girlfriend eats meat so I guess she can cook and feed the bird the meat and I don't have to worry about it!
pearllyn Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 That is a great picture!! He's lovin it! Do you let him chomp down the whole thing?!!
JillyBeanz Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 Oh yes - it was in pieces in the bottom of the cage! No wastage in my household!! :laugh: :laugh:
judygram Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 They don't actually eat the bone, they are after the marrow inside but they tear it up into small pieces to get to it, Jill was generous enough to leave some meat on it for Harvey.B)
JillyBeanz Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 Well, I'm hardly going to nibble it bare am I !!!! :woohoo:
Jingles Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 so, excuse the stupid question...but i know you're not supposed to give dogs or cats chicken/turkey bones...but it's ok for birds? why is that? hum...i guess they do splinter wood...
JillyBeanz Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 I know! I thought the same thing primarily!! Not a stupid question at all. Like Judy says - they don't try to eat the bone - they merely slice it for the marrow - eat the marrow and throw away the splinters - whereas a dog would indeed swallow the splinters and remnants of the bone.
Spinner Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Great picture! I've given Beaker some beef bones to play with, but hadn't thought of chicken. Oh he's in for a treat now. Thanks for sharing!!
