These are just too cute Kristin, she is certainly enjoying that papaya, and I would too if I had it. Thanks for sharing these with us, and now the fun begins, you have to clean up everything after.

Great Photos Makena!

 

He certainly enjoys Papaya!! :woohoo:

[Guest briansmum]

great photos what a mess! did he eat the whole half?

[danmcq]

I was wondering the same Beccy!!

 

Was the Heart scooped out for Mom and Dad ;-) then the outer flesh and skin given to Makena?

 

If not, then expect VOLUMES of Orange Poop :woohoo:

Makena, those are great photo's! He sure LOVES that papaya!! I personally have never tried one, it looks good, perhaps Talon and I should!! :pinch:

[lovemyGreys]

Great photos Makena He sure is enjoying that papaya,

[Makena]

Yes you are right Dan, Mom and Dad got most of it

 

We usually just give him a slice or cut up pieces and he is rarely interested. This time for the heck of it I just gave him the outer flesh and skin and he went nuts! He sat up there for over an hour tearing into the thing, and of course flinging it all over the place!

 

You should try in Penny, papayas are actually extremely good for you and the bird. They are high in vitamin C, vitamin A and folate. They also contain papain, which is an enzyme that helps aid in digestion. Our vet recommended papaya when Makena was having problems with the worms.

 

Also every part of the papaya is eatable including the seeds. Although I find the seeds and skin to be a little bitter but Makena doesn't seem to mind B). Give them a try, they are delicious!!

Great post Makena, very informative aswell I will pick one up at the supermarket

[danmcq]

Yep, I'm getting one too and give it a go!!

 

Thanks Makena!!

Great photos! Thanks for sharing...

Reminds of Klaus with carrots. In Klaus' opinion, carrots are strictly for tearing up & throwing around...

[Guest Monique]

This is funny. I've never even see a Papaya in its whole form. I might have to look closer next time I go to the store . Looks like your baby was having loads of fun with it as well as getting a full belly!! :laugh:

My gosh, I can't believe that most of you that have posted in this thread have not eaten a papaya before. I have tried them and loved them, and they are available most of the time at the grocery store, but are not as good as the ones Kristin can get in Hawaii. They are very flavorful and I enjoyed lots of them when I visited Hawaii, yummy.

Such cute pictures and Makena's eyes are getting lighter!!!!!!! Just adorable I love it!

Here I am cutting up the fruit in small pieces, looks like they enjoy just ripping into it...how cute! So the peel is okay for them to eat? what about other fruits, oranges, banana, what about coconut?

[Makena]

Most skins are actually ok. I probably wouldn't give citrus peels or banana peels, but I would think coconut is fine. Anything with a thin outer skin is going to be fine... I guess they don't have anyone in the wild to peel stuff for them
