Moses needs an audience in order to eat!!

I have been having a hard time getting Moses to eat his dry food & veggies/fruits. Tonight I decided to just let him stand on the island and eat, I stood in the kitchen and watched amazed that he didn't do his usual (which is throwing everything out of his bowl and on the floor!) As long as I stood and watched him he happily tried all the veggies and fruit in the bowl! I hope this is a phase! LOL

I am so glad that he is trying out his healthy foods! He has only been here one week and I am totally in love with this big guy! It is sooooooo different having a macaw from a cag. He is a much bigger clown. My cag Dorothy has become much more chatty since he has come as well as wanting me to rub her head 24 hours a day! She is a little jealous!

Like many Macaws, Moses likes attention (as well as, I'm sure, out-of-cage time). One of the reasons they throw food out of their bowls is because they want something in addition to the food we've given them. In the case of Moses, it appears you've given him just what he likes. He has the best of all worlds so there's no need for him to protest anything

Moses is indeed looking beautiful, by the way!

Thanks Plax, he is a handsome boy! He loves to be out with me! Of course I love it! I never really thought about them wanting something else but that makes sense. It's like he took his time and tried everything in his bowl as long as I was there.

Mac eats a lot better if he has an audience and gets some praise as he eats.
