I thought it was about time that I introduced the new girls to yogurt. I put it in four little dishes and put three on the patio area and one on the wooden block to try to encourage the new girls to try it.
Four dishes of yogurt
Butterscotch tries the yogurt
Butterscotch likes the yogurt
Speckles tries a splashed bit of yogurt
Speckles didn’t quite have the courage to try it from the dish but did manage to peck at some of the splashes.
Speckles takes a look
Speckles always peeps over the patio like this before mustering up the courage to jump up to the patio.
Speckles is ready to run
She makes it but doesn’t have the courage to try one of the dishes. You can see by her body language that she is always ready to run.
Speckles is very speedy and will often run when any of the girls even look at her. She is too nervous to take treats from dishes but she does get her share of the treats. Speckles will run up to the patio and take a bit of spinach or a bit of apple and run off with it. She is also very quick to the sunflower hearts or corn and she will return to the treats in dishes when the other girls have had enough and moved away, so she doesn’t miss out.
