Foraging! (Kinda)

[Xoetix]

In past posts I've mentioned Tteok doesn't play with toys or forage. He'd much rather spend the day preening himself and turnong whatever room he's in into a dust storm.

I picked up a fake grass mat, because he loves being on the floor. His second name is "Floor Chicken". So, I got a fake grass mat and threw seeds on it:



No touchy.

Plate of food in center of mat:



OK fine. But we're still not touching the mat.



To note: He watched me sprinkle food from the plate into the grass. There's food around the mat as a "trail" too. He's just a doofus.

Pretty much! They've even got sausage sizzles outside, the best ones too.
