Chris is a somewhat picky eater, like all cockatoos. His pionus brother, on the other hand, is a piggy, which is a pionus trait. I try to keep them both happy and healthy with a variety of fruits and veggies. Here are some recent meals:
Grapes, edamame, carrots, blueberries, cucumber & omelette
Chris loves edamame, which is a nice alternative to the sugar snap peas he loves and gets almost daily. He also likes grapes (there were red ones buried in his bowl). Chris favors green grapes while Holly/Rozy loves red ones. They get an omelette a few days a week. They both love it, but we have to be careful about cholesterol.
Grapes, sugar snap peas, pomegranate, green apple & mandarin orange
This photo is a little bright, but you can see the juicy pomegranate really well. Holly/Rozy loves pomegranate! Chris just started eating a little and judging from the red mess in his cage I think he likes it, too. Chris likes to de-seed things so he like orange slices that have seeds in them. Both boys really like apples and the sour green ones seem to be their favorite!
