Nice. I think I'll be getting more of those for Freya. I wonder if
she'd eat them better if I sliced them up for her? She likes to chew a
hole in the side of a bell pepper to get at the seeds. Same for anaheims
and jalapenos.

The last bag of parrot mix I bought for her (Natural Harvest) had a
larger number of dried peppers in it than I'd ever seen in a parrot mix.
