I have given the birds pumpkin puree along with their pellets tonight. They are deeply suspicious. Right now they are vultching in various positions above the food, keeping an eye on it and making sure it does not get away. They usually like it when I mix pureed vegetables or organic baby food with their pellets, but every time I stop for awhile they forget and have to remember again. I have some more in the freezer to give them tomorrow, I imagine they will like it then. I also have pumpkin seeds! Some for them, and some for me. Yum!
