judygram Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I shared some cantaloupe with Josey the other day and she seemed to enjoy the juice more than the fruit itself. I took the spoon and gathered some of the juice in a spoon and she licked it right up, yummy. Then Sunny, my sun conure did the same thing, copy cat, but it was hilarious to watch and you could hear the little tongues working to get that juice.{Feel-good-0002006E} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Talon loves any kind of juice, except orange juice. She will suck the juice out of a grape, a cherry, watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, anything that has juice!:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lidia Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Joshua's the same, loves juicy fruit. Loves to lick it up, suck it up, mmmmmm. Messy, sticky beaks all round! I love it when he eats something sticky and then eats some normal food and gets a stucco beak effect for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Yeah, you are right, that stucco beak effect is so cute to look at and then that beak gets wiped somewhere and right on your shirt it goes, but you gotta love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're so right! Stucco pyjamas are not quite so attractive as stucco beaks. :pinch:<br><br>Post edited by: Lidia, at: 2007/07/31 16:22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Thats a great idea, Beccy, but you would have to change the water more often wouldn't you?:cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 We water down apple juice so that is is 50/50. Talon drink a lot of that. She especially loves it with ice cubes in it! :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Do you put that in her water bowl or offer her a cup to sip from? I haven't put anything but water in her water bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lidia Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I've tried that, but it gets manky very quickly, so I don't tend to do it if I'm going to be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 i put it in his water bowl on a morning, sort of a fruit juice with breakfast thing he drinks a quite a lot of it. when he's finished eating and comes out to play i get rid of the juice water and put fresh water in so it's never sat festering.

Talon Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Just to clarify things....I use the 50/50 juice for Talon when ever she says "thirsty bird". I only leave fresh water on her play stand, and in her cages. She drinks her juice out of a cup, or our glass when it's meal time with us. Sorry about the confusion. And Yes Dan, you'll be wearing whatever they are eating, just like having a little baby around dropping food all over you! :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 I just shared some cantaloupe with Josey again and she still prefers the juice to the flesh of the fruit, she seemingly sucks it right up out of the spoon. Sunny just helped herself while I spoon fed Josey.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
