frankieNYC Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Frankie has recently taken a liking to diving into my water glass and picking up the ice cubes. He then holds the cube in his foot and breaks it into a million tiny pieces... Is this ok for him or is the ice too cold? don't want him getting birdie frostbite. Anyone else's grey like eating ice?

judygram Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 He is not going to get frostbite, it is a fun thing for him if he wants to break it up, it is not going to hurt him. It gives him something to tear up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Talon does the same thing. She loves to hold an ice cube and chew it up. She also prefers her juice with ice in the glass so it's nice & cold. :blink: Spoiled Brat! :silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loviechick Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I have these cute little ice cubes trays that are star shaped which just makes it even easier for mine to grip, Red LOVES ice cubes.... And if you wanna give your birds a healthy treat... I take fresh squeezed organic carrot juice, and then add something fruity like orange or organic pineapple juice, then freeze it into birdie popsicles, mine go nuts for them, especially on these hotter days!

judygram Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Lovie, what a wonderful idea with the ice cubes, I am gonna try that, of course I am gonna have to find some cute trays like you have, but if I search around I may find something. Thanks for the clever idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 do you have Ikea in the US? you can get great novelty ice trays from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 loviechick great idea, some greys like playing with ice cubes, when we have hot weather, which is not often i put them into the birds water bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 There are some Ikeas in the state of VA but not near me, but I will do a search and find the nearest one, in the meantime maybe some similar stores carry some like them, thanks for the tip.

Guest briansmum Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 over here, cheap shops like pound shops (dollar stores) have things like that, they're one of those things that are everywhere but you don't notice them if you're not looking for them. you could always use an empty chocolate box tray, they have some interesting shapes where the chocolates fit.

judygram Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I don't have any empty chocolate boxes, as soon as I eat all of them, I throw the box away, but they would be good for that indeed, thanks Beccy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Great idea and it sounds like BIG FUN. Thanks for the psot on how they enjoy this. It's hot here in California, Dayo should enjoy and welcome this COOL new play idea. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monique Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ice .. interesting. My birdies have never played with ice. I don't know how well they can sense temperature. A baby bird will eat formula that burns their crop. I wouldn't think ice would be cold enough to hurt though ... ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 a grown up birdie would know better than to play with ice if it hurt them. i gave brian some porridge the other day and it was a bit warm and he didnt touch it till it cooled. i think they figure it out as they get older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
