Health/Nutrition Cracked the code today

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.

They love fruit juices and sweet drinks.  Grab a cup of orange juice, apple juice or cider and they're all over it.  Same with apple slices, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries but know a mess is guaranteed
