Awe thanks! It was so good ahhah honestly, I wish I could share some of my food with him, but it's not good for birds! D=
To be fair though, it had eggs and cucumbers which are some of his favorite salad ingredients :) Imma buy some new veggies for him to try tomorrow though--as a way to make it up to him lol

Hi

Your food looks delicious. If you served up a little dish for Peeps with his suitable food while you ate from your own. .which dish would he chose? Bless him..table for two. Very cheeky Peeps

That is a great idea :) I did buy more English cucumbers; which he loves so much because even the seeds are soft for his lil beak! The weather is still very much hot here, so it's ideal for more cold noodles. We shall see which one he'll choose!

I cant wait to here which dish he choses. .will say alot about his dominance too.

Its still warm here..not as hot thank goodness but lovely in the garden and perfect. We are now working on the outside area for the flight for the birds.

Are cucumbers grown where you live?..they are a funny thing. Ive just learnt that we can get mini ones too

Are you talking about cocktail cucumbers? Those are the smallest I've seen lol
I think they grow here?? Im not really sure tbh, I buy mine at the store ahaha

I haven't made cold noodles yet, but I thought I'd try anyways. The only safe ingredient in today's lunch was romaine (and he already has a salad in his cage lol), so he had 2 leaves. He initially went for my share, but went to the other one when I pointed at his bowl--did he understand me!?!?!

He only ate a bit though! To be fair, he has food stashes all over the room, so he probably just wanted a taste lol

A very interesting look into his behaviour and maybe his thinking... I liked the way he wanted to try yours first lol and then you pointed..i think they do understand body language and a finger point. They read their own kind by body language.

You will have to try it again lol and see if again he goes to your dish first. What does this mean? Is he dominant over you? Is he acting as part of the flock? Or is he being playful? I think he sees you as his flock..I often watch my now 24 move around the aviary together as one.
