Milo and Chinese food

[Buy A Paper Doll]

I had Chinese takeout for dinner tonight. I pulled out 2 pieces of plain steamed broccoli (no sauce) and a big pinch of steamed white rice. Perfect for sharing with birdies. I spread it all out on the coffee table as a buffet for my pair. What do you think Milo tasted first?

A. Broccoli
B. Rice
C. The styrofoam container that my food was in

Yeah. :x I had to grab him and fight the little styrofoam chunk away from him, the little devil. I think we've passed the point of "don't turn your back on these birds." Now, it's "don't even blink." :roll:

Ack. :x I guess you'll need to serve it on a porcelain platter from now on.

Gracie likes steamed broccoli and peanut sauce from the Thai restaurant. I decided to make it for her one day, so I bought all the ingredients. Guess who wound up eating it ... and it was good, too!

Be careful with chinese food as some restarants add high quantities of MSG to the veggies to keep them looking nice and green after they are cooked. MSG will stop a birdies heart in it's tracks if the quantity is too high. I have seen human patients brought in with all the same symptoms of stroke from eating MSG laced chinese foods. The recovered, but a birdie would not.

I say this for all the members who might think 'all' chinese food is safe for birdies. Some is, some isn't. Please be careful.

Did Milo like the Kung Pau Chicken?? :omg:

Wow, I guess all things considered, the styrofoam was the safest of the 3 choices after all. Who knew? :omg:

Tonight they had plain white rice and chicken, cooked by their momma herself. :)
