Some years ago, I offered Pablo a blueberry. He acted like I was trying to poison him and shrank away from the offered berry. Even held a foot up in case he had to push away my hand.
I kept offering for a year to two, until finally one day he took the berry. It's been a love affair ever since.
Today, I was curious: what would he prefer over his beloved cashews and pistachios? Just to make it interesting, a few blueberries were added to the mix.
The blueberry won.
Listen, if you think broccoli beak is bad,
Wait'll you see blueberry beak:
Good thing he lets me clean his beak with a paper towel.
Pablo sounds like the grand-kids when they were younger. Very suspicious of new foods.
ReplyDeletePablo's looking very handsome (& pleased to be having you all to himself for a while).
I agree with Beth. Perhaps the color threw him off.
ReplyDeleteI give you credit for not giving up on him. I need to start eating blueberries for their memory boosting abilities. Lots of them!!!
