dhorje Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 My Grey doesn't seem to be eating sunflower seeds. She likes to unshell the seeds. Is it normal for a parrot not eating sunflower seeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 She just likes to chew on the shell I guess, but it is not unusual for a grey to not eat sunflower seeds, my Josey does not eat them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaMary Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Maxi does this with nuts, when I give her one occasionally. Once she gets it open, she spits out the nut and keeps chewing on the shell. Go figure!:silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Mine won't eat sunflower seeds either. Or any kind of nut. When I offer her one she looks at me like I am crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Every Parrot is different. My Grey for example loves sunflower seeds, but if given a human grade shelled peanut, he enjoys crunching and shredding the shell, then just lets the peanuts fall.......

dhorje Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 So my Koko is not alone. I bought her some almonds and cashews but my Koko doesn't eat them. She just chew them to pieces as if they were toys for her to play. She loves cracking the pistachio nuts, chewing the shell and leaves out the pistachio.
