LO> One of the other questions that I had is this...I take Phoenix out in
 LO> my backyard with me. (in his cage) Naturally he is given fruits and

As best I could tell my Blue and Gold once ate a bee with no ill effect.
Not even an OUCH! It happened so quick I couldn't stop it and I'm not 
positive he got it but it sure seemed that way.
