I feel better knowing that someone else feed them to their birds too.
I'm always concerned when trying strange new foods that there's
something toxic I don't know about them... As for red walls, I STILL
have pomegranate on the paint downstairs from FOUR years ago. The walls
were newly painted when we put the birds in there, and the paint
"grabbed" the stains. Nothing will take it out now. I figure I'll just
wait until we move (whenever we finally decide to...), and paint over it
after the birds are out.

Do they freeze well? I should go get some more while they have a good
supply.

That's right! Everybody needs a "fun food" or two! (I'm still curious as
to how they stack up nutritionally, though...guess a trip to the
bookstore is in order! Aw darn....)
