Default it's a miracle!!!

they say the age of miracles is over!!!! BAH!!! I say.

My guys don't eat fresh fruit. None. No berries. No apples. Maybe a banana. Maybe. If Saturn is rising in the moon on the fifth Tuesday of March.
As I was frying up some bacon to cook my eggs in the grease (healthy stuff huh?) I saw the granny Smith apple left over from a couple days ago and I said what the heck.
Cut it in half and set one piece off to the side. Cut it in half again setting one piece off for Sophie. Half again, one piece being for Zoey. Cut the remaining piece in two for Benji and Cricket.
Tossed it in their respective food bowls.
Flipped the bacon.
Looked back and Sophie is diving in to her piece of apple. What the heck?
I step around the corner and Cricket is butts up chowing down on his piece. Benji sees this and guess what? He dove right into his apple chunk too!!
Figuring Zoey won't let me down, surely she is ignoring her piece? What the??!!!! One foot perching on the food bowl, the other holding................. OMG!!!............. the apple piece is half gone already!!
Did my apartment fall in some kind of weird vortex? An episode of The Twilight Zone?

This happened with me too. Occy was the only one to eat apple and he loves it. I tried over and over with the others but they actually turned their heads as if to say "ewwww mommy! no way!" So one day, Occy was chowing down, I offered it to Mr Buddy and he took it! Then he wanted more! I was so happy. I love to see them eat.

You sound like an Italian mama to me (I know, I have one).

Must be the week for it. Ruby ate banana for the first time this week. It was about the only thing she wouldn't eat.

Just remember to take the seeds out of the apple. (one now and then won't hurt though)

That's the reason why you should ALWAYS keep on trying. People try to introduce a new food to a parrot a few times and then they give up. It doesn't work like that with birds, you need to keep on trying and trying and trying even if it seems like a waste of money and time.
