I moved Buddy to his new cage Saturday night and I was impressed with how easy he was about it. There was popcorn in the mix, popcorn in his cup, great welcome gift, lol.
Sunday morning he was bubbly and ate some fresh pear, corn on the cob, and edamame. Each day I've been introducing new, fresh foods, most he's not loving but we are finding fresh items he likes. So far he likes pear, apple, yellow bell pepper, and clearly popcorn but that his a treat. He loves it so much he dances when you say popcorn. The dogs love popcorn too so when I make popcorn they are all dancing. I've tried these items but Buddy hasn't taken to them: mango, banana, strawberry, kale, snow pea, purple hull peas, carrot, and dried papaya. Each day I line something new up with something he likes. Today will be egg, edamame and apple. We've been eating better too so the fresh stuff isn't wasted with Buddy, definite positive.
Here's a pic of the crew. Buddy gets down low when the dogs come. They want the popcorn he dropped in the bottom but they do get nose to nose. They smell, Buddy barks. Buddy came out of his cage to visit with me last night. The dogs sat around us watching Buddy. I played youtube videos of amazons talking and singing. Very entertaining watching Buddy watch youtube, he starts "purring" and was mimicking a few whistles I think he knows but he hasn't quite shared yet. Great quality time with him for sure.

I think the size makes a big difference .
