That explains something for me. I offer radish every so often. Its one of the vegs I use in moderation. My guys eat a bit but I often find most of it on the ground.Carrots are good (better if steamed)
Sprouts (moderate)
Kale is good; Swiss chard is not (steer clear)
Spinach (steer clear)
Peppers (minimum)
Zucchni and squash (lots of it- steam winter squash first if possible)
Radish are not ideal
Fruit choices look great
Kabob often means corn- just be carfeul with quantity
Brown rice is OK
Try more fleshy fruits: Guava, Passionfruit, Figs, Pomegranates, Mango, Cantaloupe, Plums, Blueberries, Papaya, Apricot, Nectarines, Cherries, Kiwi
Corn is foot food, I give a slice s a snack. I notice they eat the some of the pulp inside the kernels but its the core they chew on until its all destroyed. I wonder why.
Swiss chard isn't something I use although I do grow it here. The wild parrots don't bother with it. Our wild birds come in for our tomatoes. They chew a hole in the side then leave it. I worked out they are getting at the seeds. They don't take much but they do like to have a go at them, usually they only go for the half ripe tomatoes.
I give capsicum/Bell pepper hearts as they like the seeds. Mine won't eat berries unless they are whole for some reason. Blueberries I can halve though.
What about potato? I ask as there re differing opinions. This is an interesting thread.
