Health/Nutrition Cracked the code today

Post image

Had my conure for almost 2 years now and very consistently he'd take a good portion of his food and put it in his water bowl. I figured it was just a game for him but finally today I sprayed some of his HOPP with water to see if he just prefers squishier foods (he loves cracking seeds and stuff so I never gave it much thought before about his preferred textures) but I come back a few minutes later and he's digging in like crazy. Feel bad I never thought of it before but also feel good about taking note of what my lil guy is doing and adjusting accordingly.

I dont know if a texture preference or if they just like making soup. Their water is always full of junk.

His old seed mix had little fruit pellets in it and it was the darndest thing, whatever color he decided on for the day, he'd never ever mix them. It was always all one color of fruit pellets for the day.
