How To Eat Corn, Part Two

Posted on: 08/19/08, 20:12:29
Harley likes corn pretty well. A few thawed-out frozen kernels usually get added to the birds' food mix, and now that it's grilling season, we have chunks of corn-on-the-cob available most weekends. Despite its availability — or perhaps because of it — Harley doesn't eat it at every opportunity. Unless, that is, he has convinced his favorite lackey to feed it to him on a fork:

Cinnamon and Ginger don't seem to like corn as much as the other Finsters did, either. When they do eat it, their method is closest to the Society Finches'. This doesn't worry me, since — with its high sugar content — it isn't the most nutritious of vegetables. What does concern me, however, is that they don't eat millet spray. What's up with that? Are they not birds?!?

Be sure to read part one of How To Eat Corn.

Also, be sure to pop up this photo from National Geographic, which shows how rabbits prefer to eat corn. Well, obviously.

(Note that these photos of Harley were taken on my new camera phone. Yes, it's an iPhone. Yes, you can be jealous of me. But the pictures aren't the best in the world. Still. Harley eating corn: you just can't go wrong.)
