JillyBeanz Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Well, I didn't know how to "serve" it - I guessed that if I gave him it he would drop it and that would be me up and down every 10 seconds to give it back. My husband drilled a hole in it - put some chain through it and added a quick link - as usual, it didn't take 10 seconds until Harvey was checking it out! I hope it keeps him quiet!!!
Luvparrots Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Great picture of Harvey and his sugar cane! I'm going to have to find some for my fids!!
judygram Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Well it looks like you figured out a way to serve it to Harvey, wish I had some for Josey, will have to check around some stores to see if I can find some, wish me luck. Thanks Jill for sharing that pic with us.
Joolesgreyuk Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Jill I love checking-out your pictures of Harvey, he's a fine-looking fella. Great idea about the cane, where did you get this?
JillyBeanz Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 Since that picture he hasn't touched it!!! Julie, I get all of my parrot supplies from Midland Parrots (www.midlandparrots.com) - it's a family run company (the owners are Bob and Diane) and they are so helpful and the delivery is super quick. It's such a shame you can't get stuff like this in the states (and palm nuts) but I suppose we have to honour the restrictions don't we. I could post you one under cover of darkness in the hope it doesn't get opened at customs!!!! PS. Dear Mr Border Control - this was a joke, I promise!!!
jml0921 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 i live in south louisiana and there are cane fields ALL over the place! so i can feed this to my bird when i get him? can i give it to him raw? or does it have to be specially processed or something? because we eat sugarcan all the time when its in season. u just peel it, chew the sugar juice out of it and spit out the pulp! its really good. espically if u get it right out the field instead of off a truck
kittykittykitty Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 It is good, but it is pure sugar! My husband had access to all he wanted as a child. It rotted his teeth!:ohmy:
judygram Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Oh my Howardine, he got too much of a good thing then didn't he, I would like to get some for Josey but haven't found any yet.
jml0921 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 lol we used to get it all the time too. but not THAT much lol.
kittykittykitty Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I've seen it ocasionally in the market, but not often. Yes, he definately had tooooo much!!!:woohoo: I'm wondering if my dad's family brought some from LA when returning from a visit. I know it was really good!
JillyBeanz Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 This stuff stinks! He's now ripped it apart - he loves it and it smells of vinegar! It's horrible - but he seems to like it!!! I'm not sure if its raw or if it is processed - but the smell of vinegar makes me wonder :unsure:
