They are carnivores. They
LOVE meat. What they were eating were ribs. We don't give them the entire thing, just leftovers. Actually, they love anything we are eating. Tofu is a favorite...pasta, cereal, eggs in the morning, etc. We don't indulge them, but give them scraps.
They live about 80 years. Very smart. Our kids argue over who is NOT going to be willed the birds.
GVCMom, they do tend to bond to a certain person. Abbey has bonded to me for 16 years, but tolerates my husband. The two young boys bonded to husband and BARELY tolerate me. I'm getting good that I only have two bites on my hands at any given time. I'm more stubborn than they are, though. They haven't figured this out yet.
We gave up buying toys for them. They'd much rather play in a box, or figure out how to open a creamer container that has a peanut in it.
They're fun to watch, but horrible to clean up after. Ugh. Daily routine.
