I had promised myself that I was not going to give a running commentary on what I eat every day. I am sticking to that. However, that promise does not extend to my pet birds. I have 2 small parrots called Lovebirds. They are smart little guys ages 12 and 13 years. They have different foods at each meal. I purchase all these items through Foster & Smith, a mail order in Rhinelander for pets. Breakfast consists of 2 small balls of dried fruit that we call "berries". Lunch is a square of grains (held together by what I hope is healthy) that we call "Avi-cake," which is the actual name of it. Dinner alternates between corn that I buy in the frozen vegetable aisle at the local grocery and a cooked mixture called "Cream of Tweet." It has rice, barley, veggies, fruit, etc. and has an apple/cinnamon smell. Both of these get warmed up. It gets called "hot dinner" as in "Who wants a hot dinner?" That line always brings them to their food dishes and usually causes Case to say, "I do!" I am laughing writing this up and this is not even the funny part!
As I was feeding them lunch, I was distracted and put in 2 breakfast berries instead of the usual Avi-cake. Both of them went to their food dish, looked at the berries, then looked up at me with a "what the heck" look. They both just sat there - not eating. I removed the berries and gave them each an Avi-cake. They ate like starved convicts. That's the funny part.
If I need to begin labeling what is funny in my blog, perhaps it is time to stop.
