I just thought I'd share this cool idea I saw on Facebook:

(clearly the birds are photoshopped!)

Anyway, thought it could also work with our birds as well?

What a great idea!
Pumpkins are so cheap too - this would be a real treat!

I have seen photos of parrots being given mini pumpkins as shredding "toys." If you dont cut them open, its been suggested that you need to at least given them a start somewhere on a whole one :)

I am mean and let them do it on their own, but I have parrot's with larger beak.
Who ever said that life should be easy? :p :D
(Yes I haven't been running today, so I didn't get my endorphins that makes me nice... Ha ha)

Well my two were not best impressed with the pumpkin. I was sure to have it around their cage for a few days so it wasn't somethings scary, but they weren't bothered. So the wild birds can enjoy this one!

I mushed up the insides and added a few extra things like rosemary and carraway seeds.

Sorry, I should add, I had the uncut pumpkin around their cage for a few days. I then cut it open this morning and served it. I don't wanna leave rotting pumpkin innards hanging around for days ;)

Pumpkins are a fave for my birds. They chew it and make a nice mess. Since I have 3 cages I don't get them each their own. I just third it after microwave and offer that. They still enjoy.
