ranaz Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I have always found it difficult to convince Kookie to eat his pellets (Harisons is the only one available here), and no matter how hungry he is he will shred the pellets into pieces and barely eat from them...that was all until we tried peanut butter (lowfat with peanut pcs inside) and Kookie went so nuts about it that he licked the spoon clean...so it occured to me to add little of this peanut butter to the broken pellet pieces and guess what...Kookie thought it was talon lickin good...LOL Im glad to have finally found a way to make him eat pellets... {Nature-00020095}{Nature-00020095} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckobird Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 That is great that you found a way to make him eat pellets. Hopefully he doesn't figure out that you tricked him LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Thats a great idea but go easy on the peanut butter as it is high in fat, my birds especially my sun conure loves peanut butter but it is an occasional treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranaz Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 yeah thanks I will go easy, but I got the low fat one, and I will only use a little so that it wil give a lavor to the pellets. I hope it works on the long run and he wouldnt discover my trick... {Nature-00020095}{Nature-00020095} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
