It's MY corn!

[LeaKP]

So today in my ongoing efforts to introduce Nigel to new foods, I gave him corn on the cob (cooked). For a few minutes he just looked at it, I thought it may take a few tries to get him used to corn on the cob.

A few minutes later, he's gobbling it up to my surprise and pleasure! Once the corn was visibly destroyed I tried to get him to come out and hang out with the rest of us. I was met with great displeasure and grumbles as if to say, "This is MY corn, leave me alone! I must guard it!" He's done this twice...super cute.

African grey life, never dull!

Hee hee looks like Nigel has found a food he really likes and he is not sharing it with any of you or leaving it either in case you steal it back while hes not looking ...so glad he ate it for you and enjoyed so much .

And this is how happy we are after eating...couldn't keep the sandman away. He's sleeping right next to his beloved corn.

Nigel wants to guard what's left of his corn, even while napping! How adorable!

Oh that's cute! Cooked, huh? Got to try that, Salty is not fond of raw corn. I want to know whose cooking for these guys in the wild.

Our CAG adores corn on the cob!! He holds the entire 1/2 cob in the air with his foot, and gobbles it up. The cob, too! Looks like a kid eating an ice cream cone...

Newest favorite after corn is green beans...almost an obsession.

Like Michael McDonald, I keep forgettin to do corn on the cob for Perjo.

Her new favorite is watermelon. Really enjoys various peppers too.

No matter what Nigel's favorite food, when I give him his shower (he tolerates it and there's no option you WILL have a shower) I try to regain his acceptance with his favorites. Today, however, corn and green beans are not winning a forgiving look.

For a while I'm out of his majesty's favor!
