mashed potatoes. and squash as long as it's open-otherwise they stand there and give it little pathetic nudges and look at me to say "cheapskate, you can't even open it? and it's WAY TOO HARD for us to peck open" (insert rolling eyes here). rinds from the watermelons are favs.
mealworms. dry cat food. spaghetti is hilarious....tug of wars ensue.....and yogurt is always good for a laugh.

Its interesting to note they were originally produced as an alternate feed for cattle then someone thought they might be nice coated in powdered cheese for people.
