Monkey See, Monkey Do

                    ---------------------



Some birds may be more agreeable to trying new foods if they see

their owners eating the food.  Therefore, bringing your bird to

the dinner table may be a rewarding ploy.  Hand feeding new food

items may also help your bird to accept new and unfamiliar foods.

Don't feed your bird from your mouth because the normal bacteria

flora in our mouths may be harmful to caged birds.
