Your Greys favorite, bad treat?

I was wondering if anyone has a Grey that has a favorite human food treat that maybe isn't the best for them but you sneak them just a little every now and then, because they are so spoiled!

Goose loves mac and cheese!

My TAG goes crazy, absolutely crazy, for cheese. If I'm eating something that has some cheese on it, he'll do everything he can to eat the cheese before I can. I know it isn't the best thing for him but oh he loves it so much.

No grey here either... but the new strawberry/mango freeze (slushie) from Taco Bell got me bitten when I tried taking it away from my conures! LOL

It was weird because they usually HATE cold stuff.

Those are really really good. My boyfriend got one and I stole the rest lol.

Our lovebird will do anything for a Tostitos. One time I was eating them on the couch and left the open bag to grab something from the other room . . . came back and found a lovebird inside the bag snarfing chips!

this may sound a bit strange...

But Martini absolutely loves chicken. It sounds kind of cannabalistic and has me scratching my head, but definitely I've got a carnivore on my hands. Truly I was thinking that birds were vegetarians before I got Martini.

My parent's TAG LOVES turkey and chicken drumsticks. Ziggy is picking up the same taste...my husband thinks it's sick. And for some reason, if my hubby is having a beer, Ziggy goes nuts trying to get some for himself. I am not sure where he picked that up. He'll also do what he can to get a sip of juice from a glass that might be sitting on the coffee table next to his table top perch. I think I might have a video of that somewhere, I'll have to dig it up.

Chicken is very common for pet birds to eat! It is a good source of protine. My U2 & Macaw love to eat the marrow out of the bones!
