Every once in a a while Parker gets into some frame of mind where he thinks he will never get food again. I swear I got home a hour and a half ago and Parker has NOT stopped eating since then. Hour and a half straight of non stop eating! This isn't even the longest he's gone before.

What a piglet!:pi::36:

Hahaha that's cute. Buddy will do that sometimes! All I hear is his little munching. :D :grey:
 
Dexter does that sometimes, not often. I think it's hilarious when he munches out for so long and gets a giant food beard.
 
Not an eclectus, but Chiqui is a piglet. She insists everything I'm eating needs to be shared. If I give her something else to eat she won't come up for air.
On her play stand she has a dish that I always plop something in when I first put her on it... Non stop munching...
 
yup. Uglow does the same. sometimes he'll eat for an hour take a short poop break and goes right back into it. I've been repeating "I'm STARVING!" whenever he gets into one of these feeding frenzies. Let's see if he'll pick up on it. :)

Parkers he same way with string cheese, specifically. It's the only thing he will actually climb down his stand and chase me down for. I need to get a video of this :)

Omg that would be epic if he does catch on!
 
Pebbles is the piggy out of Pebbles and Gizmo. If she is out and about and she thinks I haven't given her a treat recently she will reach out as if she wants to step up, but with a big open mouth:D. She will also try to hide a treat under her tongue and make out like she has finished and looking for another treat.
 
Awww... Parker isn't a piglet, he just has a healthy appetite! Kiwi would be a total piglet if allowed to eat unlimited amounts of junk food, but alas, his "mean" mommy gives him fruit and veg and grains instead of chips and cheese and sweets (as would be his idea of an awesome diet), so the poor wittle would be piggy just eats normal portions since he doesn't like his healthy food too much;).

The other day my husband was eating chips and salsa and Kiwi came over and stole a HUGE corn chip out of the bag :eek: He was so offended when hubby grabbed it back and only broke off a small corner for him to eat as a treat:p
 
Not an eclectus, but Leo is a little piggy, especially where broccoli is concerned. The little piggy can't seem to get enough, and keeps trying to steal it from me. Broccoli is my favorite food, so I eat it a lot.
