I find that they ignore it and then at some stage they go mental and won't stop until its sugar cane dust.

I've tried to find the magic formula and washing it with a green abrasive pad and then serving at room temperature worked for me.

I made a little perch from it and watched as the Genius chewed through the anchoring point of his new perch causing bird and perch to collapse in a very satisying 'Looney Tunes' way

He climbed inside the seed jar earlier ( big jar) not enough space to turn (with that tail), unable to reverse. I could see him starting to get panicky, needed a grab and drag backwards, not easy hes getting quite big. 30 secs of feather flicking/shudders (the birdy "phew!") ....and then he charged back into the jar.

I want a refund. When I get my hyacinth Oodie will be lucky to get the husks.
