Welcome Home Jade!

Jade woke you up at 10??? Lucky! Corky demands attention at 7 am, and keeps screaming if I don't give it to him! Corky! You should learn from Jade!

My caiques do the same! Bee is going to have to go to bed earlier!

Jade has discovered nutriberries! Also she seems to like the yellow and green zupreem pellets best.

I think there are several greenies that pick certain colors.... though I think they all taste the same. @tka I think ( I might be remembering wrong who the best pellet taster is on the Avenue) has tried all the pellets for taste... Tops being the nastiest taste ( for a human anyway- lol ). You might eat one of each to see if they do indeed have a different flavor... they're all natural .... let us know the results!

Jade explored outside the cage! She even did a bit of trying to fly (the store gave her a partial clip at some point)! She's able to flutter down to the ground so she doesn't get hurt. What a brave baby! I'm so proud!

Kiwi and Blizzard would have no trouble sharing with her

Their favorites are red and orange.

I'm delighted that I am the Avenue's best/most committed pellet taster! I haven't tried Zupreem because I don't feed it to Leia, but I have tried coloured P15 and I can confirm that those taste the same regardless of colour. Most pellets I've tried are fairly bland with a mild cereal taste. They're not exciting but they're not especially weird or off-putting to human tastebuds. Definitely wouldn't recommend TOPS for humans though, unless you like spicy grass.

I think it's great you test things too! I taste everything I offer to my goats too. It's important to me that nothing is hiding in the molasses blends and that the hay was made well. I was surprised by tops spice! I was expecting a typical alfalfa pellet, and delighted that they're not!

Maybe I can be the Fruity taste-tester

When you open the bag it smells like bananas, so I’m not sure what to expect of them

The sweet baby let me give her seeds!!!

Well, we know she's not afraid of a camera! Which means... we'll be getting lots of videos and photos!!!!

Waiting for your official report.....

I’ll taste some tomorrow when I replace the food, expect a report then

Yes! We must give @tka that banner!!!

Weirdly, Hari Tropican smells really strongly (and rather offputtingly, in my opinion) of artifical bubblegum when you open the packet but doesn't taste of it. Tastes like a mild rice cereal - maybe a slight hint of a generic fruity flavour, but no bubblegum. I think the scent is there to entice humans more than it's there for our birds.

Jade looks like she's settling right in and is already training Bee! Love to see her little tongue working to extract the seed.

I can imagine the people in a meeting:

1: So, how are we going to get people to buy this?

2: Fun colors?

3: I know! We could make the bag smell good!

1: ???

3: Make the bag smell like bubblegum so that people are attracted, but make the pellets almost flavorless!

1: That’s a great idea! Let’s do it!

And that is the tale of the bubblegum bag....

That's how I feel about the multicolored pellets.. more of a marketing enticement for humans thinking they have all the flavors. Would be fun to visit a factory where they're made!

I offered some more things from my fingers- bits of that Goldenfeast Central America blend. Jade took them gladly!

Love it! Try putting some in the palm of your hand and see if she'll climb on to eat.

I laugh... but this is likely true.

Love the smell when I open the bag, there is a hint of sweet flavour, but overall there´s not much to them. At least they´re edible so I can snack on them with Gisli
