Caspersmum Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Wow, you're coming up with some amazing questions! I'd answer them with useful info if I could, but I haven't got a clue! But it's good to get us all thinking! Julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caspersmum Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Not at all! I'm a medical student, and as my tutors say, no question is stupid if it saves a patient's life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I would just to make it softer and to get any pesticides off of it. But I'd love to hear the answer for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errols_Mom Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I give my Errol it raw, bbq'd steamed, and boiled... I chunk it up, give it to her whole, I cut it in wheels, and I've taken the husk and rolled it in a thin coat of home-made (no sugar) peanut butter, and rolled that in seeds, and froze it for a warm summer treat...she LOVES Corn!!!

judygram Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I've fed it boiled or raw. I cut the corn into wheels and thread it on a kabob and hang it in her cage. My sun conure is so cute when she eats corn, she eats all the inside and leaves the husk of the kernal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monique Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I've also fed both boiled & raw, on and off the cob. On the cob is my Macaw's favorite. My Grey and Conure like the delicate little kernels better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtullos2 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Corn is not a good source of vitamins and minerals so make sure he eats other stuff also. It is a good source of calories though. My bird loves it also, i'm sure he'd be happy only eating corn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
