Peeling a pea

Does anyone else peel peas for their birds?

Dalai & Perry like sugar snap peas (Lennie not so much) but tend to ignore them if they are not peeled.  They also eat more when I present a peeled portion of pea on my finger.

I have been reflecting on those who were here before.  Cagney loved a pea.  He would expertly hull the pea & eat the treasure inside.  Phineas also loved a pea but would eat the casing too.  He would chomp down & it was all gone in a second.  Some earlier posts on peas are here:

Peas are still popular here.  I usually get sugar snap peas & mix them with other vegetables.  The peas are always picked out first, usually by Cagney.

Phineas also likes peas but I do not have a photo of him with a pea in his beak, so here is one of him eating celery:

Peas, peas and more peas

Peas are very popular here.  Puddings & Toyboys enjoy a pea.  I either get mange tout or sugar snap peas.  If I am in the mood to pamper them, I break open the pods & scoop out the peas for them.  Often, if they are faced with a dish with multiple vegetables, including peas, they go for the peas first. 

Here are some photos of them enjoying their peas…. peas….. & more peas…..

Oh great… peas!

This pea is bigger than my beak…

Cagney’s gone… all the more peas for me!

Dang! Caggers is back!

Nom nom nom…

Bezuky’s gone… more peas for me!
