Sugar Eating Parrots
May 31st 2011 21:00
This so not right: feeding parrots sugar.
Sitting at the Museum of Contemporary Art café with some friends, two parrots kept flying over to our table. They would come up to the small glass that held sugar packets, grab one with its beak before flying off. This happened twice before we started wondering what they did with them.
When they came back a third time, one of my friends ripped open a packet and poured the sugar on his hand. He held it out and the parrots hopped on and started nibbling away.
“It can’t be good for them,” said my other friend as my first friend continued feeding them.
In the end, we shooed them away.
“I didn’t know parrots like sugar,” I said.
“You can make animals eat anything,” said my second friend. I doubt it; I still remember the time I tried to get my ducks to drink Coca Cola. They took one sip before shaking their heads the same way a dog does after a bath. This was to get the Coke out of their bills before they waddled away in disgust.
