danmcq Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Not that I know of. Dayo will just shred and toss that peel and dig in to eat as much banana as he can. They pretty know which part of any fruit is the peeling and the good stuff. Ever watched one skin a grape? You'll see the skin drop intact and devoid of the meat complete. They can do things with a beak better than we can with a knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aw64 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks for that Danmck, such a shame he was having such fun and again I was the nasty one that spoilt it! He wont touch grapes yet, but clearly like bananas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Try different color grapes, if you haven't. Dayo will normally toss green grapes. But, Red or black he loves. Also, this is true with apples, he loves fuji's, red delicious are ok, the green he does not seem to like much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murfchck Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Lol, mine eat the green and toss the red. With apples neither straight red or straight green, must have both colors on that skin or out of the bowl it goes! Bananas however i get the hurry up whistle! The greys will also only eat an orange if my husband hands it to them, if i try to put that in their bowl, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Just make sure you have washed those Banana skins well to avoid pesticides. I have a friend whose Cockatoo only likes the skins not the Banana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
