Oops!

Does she like citrus at all?
Some birds probably don't.

Or other peppers. :-)
I have a "wild" petin bush with itty bitty peppers every year and she
loves those also.

That's too funny!
Freya will eat some apples, but it's not her favorite fruit.

I offered her a kale leaf today and she seemed quite interested!

I do give her millet sprays, and I get her parakeet "honey sticks" too!
She loves the bird treats.

sunflower seed allowance.

She also likes walnuts.

It is nice, and she likes it better out there as there are more windows
to look out of.
