Nikiwildman - when you are cooking, yes your babies should be safe in their cage, but when you are eating they could be with you. My birds always eat with us and that is how I have gotten them to try all kinds of new things. Just as long as you reserve their food to no salt, sugar, etc. They are very social flock animals and would love to be with you when you are at the table. I don't know what their diet is like but it really is a great way to feed them all the good stuff.

We used to do this - but it became near impossible to try to eat our own food - they would try and nick stuff they aren't allowed to eat, Luna used to try and jump onto my plate and she'd get covered in food, i ended up having to stop them both being out when we are eating as they scared me too much - thought they would either eat something that would do them harm, or that they would burn themselves by either eating something too hot, or jumping into food that was too hot and burn their feet! Also, im not too keen on feathers in my food! haha.
But they do already get a really good diet, they are not fussy eaters at all and will pretty much eat anything i give to them(and things i dont give to them)! They espescially like cucumber, chillies and mango! And this 'porridge' mix i have for them which is supposed to help during molting, but they both eat out of my hands so anything i offer to them they always try it, and more often than not they like it!
