My parrot eating a porkchop bone

[OutHouse]

she loves chicken wings she will plow through chickenwings faster than a competitive eater. anway we baked a few porkchops the other night and she was eyeballing the bone so i gave it to her. she was a happy bird for a couple of hours.

 

[Beev]

Aww. I love happy animals.

 

[SunnyD]

The whole time she's thinking, "Man, this is WAY better than that tropical fruit shit we used to eat back in the rainforest!"

What have you done? Now it has a taste for flesh!

parrots are omnivores, she will be OK. although I am not sure about the added flavors and sauces... that might be damaging, also they eat worms and small animals; red meat... I hope she don't die of heart attack :biggrin:

They'll go for the eyes first, sweet juicy eyes!

My mom's cockatiel really likes turkey, chicken, and eggs. Favorite human food is bread though.

I always laugh when someone calls it cannibalism. It's no different from a human (a mammal) eating a cow (another mammal).

Education fail, cannibalism is not mammal eating mammal. It is one eating its one species. Actually its only refers to humans eating humans.

I meant that sometimes people see or hear about our bird eating chicken and say "that's cannibalism!" Which is obviously wrong. I know it only means eating a member of the same species. Wasn't aware that the term only applied to humans, but that's not the case anymore:

LOL! I was thinking the same thing! Also, when she's eating the chicken wings I'd be thinking "I wonder if she knows...?" D: Cannibal bird!! D:

parrots and chickens aren't the same species... :hmm:

OK, but still, it would be like us eating orangutans, gorillas or chimpanzees, not a cow. Cow is a herbivore, we are omnivorous, not at the same level on food chain.

Once your parrot develops heart disease, we will once again have a native parrot species here in the US. :awe:

And people wondered why pirates wear eye patches.

Parrots are no more closely related to chickens as humans are to cows. A human eating a chimpanzee (which does happen BTW, although that seems horrible and wrong to me) would be like an African Grey Parrot eating some other species of parrot.

Meh. Semantics. They are both birds. Kinda-sorta. It's a freaking bird eating another freaking bird. Crazy pirate eyeball eating killer parrot.

Nice bird though. I always wanted a parrot but wound up with two kids instead. Same amount of noise, but cost more to maintain.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Just wait till she attacks and kills you in your sleep. She will have bones for weeks.

 

[FoBoT]

sheesh, why don't you just put a rescue panther in your room at night, can't be much more risky than this

 

[AstroManLuca]

Can she let herself in or out of her cage? A lot of birds learn how to do that. Better put locks on there if you don't already have them.

im trying to teach her to say

i am a Red Butt Jungle Chicken

 

[iRONic]

Fattening her up, OP? Brilliant!

How about teaching it "haters gonna hate" while holding a porkchop bone. haha

I love that commercial, especially when rescue panther does the slow lick.

My grey and my amazon loved to chew on chicken bones. My macaw and cockatoo would love to chew on untreated 2x4s. Give them a 6-8 inch piece of wood and you'd have toothpicks in about 15 minutes.

I like your bird. How old is it? I gave my grey and my amazon to an acquaintance who already had a bird about 9 years ago. My grey was about 25 when I got him back in 89 and he's still going strong.



Peace
