what is your birds favourite fruit or veggie?

Post by EnigmaticHC » Wed Nov 12, 2014 8:27 am

Just curious.. what is the one fruit or veggie, that without fail, is always devoured by your birds?

Lettuce, spinach, apples, grapes, carrots, and broccoli, I'm not sure which is most loved, they get them all regularly and devour them.

Mine like spring green mix. It comes in a package at the market and has different baby greens. My guys love it!

My birds very favorite is cucumber, though that isn't the most nutritious. I cut rounds, and they eat all the insides out, leaving green rings in their cages. Their favorite nutritious veggie is broccoli.

My birds all love broccoli and greens (like red leaf lettuce, kale, dandelion leaves). They haven't gone for any fruit yet.

Mine really love broccoli, kale. Also romaine. They do like many things though. If you want them to try something new, try sprinkling some of their favorite treats on top. They might just eat it!!! EnigmaticHC

My canaries are not picky when it comes to green food and fruits!
I think they like ALL, except: carrots... I can't get them to touch that stuff I don't know why >.<

On the other hand, my java finches are an absolute seed eater, they like to eat corn, too! But the only green stuffs they consume are the plants in my aviary... I think they're only shredding it for nest material though...

My guys LOVE fresh kale leaves, chopped broccoli florets and romaine lettuce. They aren't remotely into fruit! They also love fresh baked Higgin's Birdie Bread, to which I add chopped peas & carrots :)
