Amy a Blue Front 'Zon
Jonesy a Goffins 'Too who had to be rehomed :-(

And a Normal Grey Cockatiel named BB who came home with me on 5/20/2016.
...like Kiwi..Amy is a foodie.

I prepared dinner,for myself,and the kids. I just had a bowl of Ramen noodles,and made them a plate for BB and Amys' nummy bowl.

BB had a little noodle (without the "flavor" packet) z couple corn nibs,grren beans,a piece of mac and cheese and a hunk of pineapple. I rested his plate on my desk,he really liked the noodles :rolleyes:, took a bite of corn and beans and pineapple.

Amy was sitting on the top rung of the chair next to us,and I didn't have a place to set her bowl down,so I held it and told her to have dinner.
It was so neat just watching her eat,grunting "huh" as she bent down and stuffed her face in the bowl.
First, a couple good noshing on the noodles,then "digging" in the bowl with her beaky,looking for the nibs,and munching on 6 or 7 nibs,then picking up a green bean,eating 3/4 of a 2 inch long piece. she looked up at me,with a bit of mac and cheese on her beaky,then wiping it off on the chair rung.
She bent over again,coming up with a good sized piece of pineapple chunk,holding it in her hand,and meticulously eating every bit,as the juice ran down,and her eyes flashing and pinning with delight,totally enjoying herself,as I just held the bowl for her,asking if it was good and eat as much as you'd like. She ate for a good 6 or 7 minutes then pulled back.
I asked if she'd like dessert,and offered her a nutriberry,which she took without hesitation.
I thought it was pretty cool,just talking to her and watching as she seemed to really enjoy dinner with the family ;)
It IS amazing on how much she can,and does,chow down,compared to BB :rolleyes: :eek: :p

:green:Foodies or feathered trash cans:33: Not much an amazon rejects food wise (unless it's a leafy green vegetable:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:).

So nice of you to hold Amy's dish while she ate:). They're never to old to be hand fed:p! It is so adorable to watch them eat up close huh? Pinning eyes, squeals of joy, just excited every single meal.

How much does BB weigh in comparison to Amy?
 
"...like Kiwi..Amy is a foodie."

Take care there good friend! There is a very large extended Amazon Family that are just as big foodies as the two examples!

I have long believed that the most dangerous place is on that direct line between an Amazon and Food!

Amazon's Rule!

Well...at last weigh-in Amy was at 486 g's :rolleyes: and today Beebs was 86 g's..soooooo the "big green monster" has 400 g's over the Beebster lol :eek:.
Makes it about 8 BB's to ONE Amy :rolleyes: lol.
No wonder she is such a chow hound!
LMAO on the "feathered trash can" How true!
