danmcq Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 So I cook a Corn Cobb cut in half. Let it cool. Then give it to Dayo. So what does he do? First He screams when He see's it. Then he climbs down and tears the Corn Cobb to pieces for scaring him. Then He eats the pieces. This is a BIG FUN Food I see!!! :-)
sandra902 Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 look at that little rascally face! merly-man is getting one of those corn cobs pretty darn soon we'll see what kind of havoc he can wreak with it.
danmcq Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 LOL - He is a rascal to say the least!! They are so entertaining, how could anyone not fall in love with them. :-) Send photos of merlins Corn Cobb destruction!!
judygram Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Well I guess we know what Dayo did today, what a hoot that is, thanks for sharing that with us Dan, he is a rascal!!!!:silly: :laugh:
dblhelix Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Super cute!! If anyone is wondering, there is no need to cook the corn. You can give them fresh sweet corn on the cob and many birds enjoy this. Kip loves it and gets some fresh corn on the cob offered everyday. Sometimes cubed, sometimes I skewer the whole cob and hang in her cage. She makes a lovely mess out of most of it but surely eats some! B) Living in California is great for getting fresh veggies/fruit of all types all year long!
Makena Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Awww... that is so cute! I bet you will be finding flung corn pieces for ages!
HoboHiltons Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I will have to try the corn-cob without cooking it... Cowboy doesn't eat it cooked :whistle: But Romo totally lovessssssssssssssss corn on the cob:P
lovemyGreys Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Great picture Dan, my three in the bird room love corn on the cob, imagine the mess with three :ohmy:
danmcq Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 Yes, the way they grab a bite, violently shake their head and throw pieces across the room is entertaining and messy. I cannot imagine the mess three would make But hey, if you have to clean the floor, counter, walls and windows anyway for one, it's about the same work for three, just more stuff in the trash can. :-) Dayo, for some reason, does not like corn uncooked. So that's why I thought I would try cooking it and viola Big Fun Time began :-)
lovemyGreys Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Dan i always cook my vegetables mine don't like them raw ! I think it's nice to give them warm/tepid food they must get bored of cold food ! Gosh what are we like :laugh:
chapala Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Most birds seem to take quickly to corn on the cob. I have fed "wheels" (cut slices) raw, sometimes in the dish and sometimes skewered with other vegetable chunks. Just keep in mind that corn is not the most nutritious vegetable, so as a part of a varied diet, just fine. Personally I think a whole ear is too much. A one inch wheel at one time is about right for our Greys. Reta
Nychsa Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Oh my gosh Dan he shredded the corn like that?? What a riot! I think I need to get with the program - I cooked the corn and then sliced it off the cob for Bella I should have just given her the uncooked cob the way DB sugested! Well! That's why I'm here! To pick up all these little tricks. Cheers! Terri
danmcq Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Reta - Your absolutely right. Thanks for pointing it out. :-) We definitely don't want any new Grey owners to think this is a "staple" food. He eats a ton of good veggies like broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, chard's, kale etc. I looked at this more as a "fun" food. He ate very little comparatively speaking of the half a corn Cobb he destroyed. Terri - Yes, it was a riot watching him and in fact, just may be a good "toy" food to let them destroy while were gone. Just another thing to keep them occupied and exercise while their at it. :-)
DUKEdevils36 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Iv never tried feeding Duke corn. He only ever seems to be interested in peanuts and apples. But its worth a shot.
Laurie Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 That's hilarious! Thanks for sharing, Dan... I think "making a mess" is one of those universal things that all greys seem to enjoy.:lol:
