Our one cage does something interesting with their egg food. We have three couples in that cage, all three males are related. Now from what we've noticed, the one minor problem with the CeDe product is that it isn't uniform. When I clean out dishes generally there are a couple of larger pieces that our guys don't bother with, except for that cage. I have observed all three boys when they encounter a larger piece, fly over to their water dish and dip it into the water to soften it up. I've really only noticed this behavior when their feeding chicks. Once the kids are eating on their own, they ignore the chunks again.
