Extreme yogurt beak

[Ballerina Bird]

I had some fancy Icelandic yogurt, which is very thick, left over, so I gave some to my girls since they usually like yogurt. They loved it and gobbled it up, but because it's so much thicker than regular yogurt, there is a lot of yogurt on their beaks; usually this doesn't happen nearly so much with normal yogurt. Do I need to clean this off for them? Is there any problem with leaving them be and letting it sort of melt off on its own?

PS I should properly attribute the phrase "yogurt beak" to the very funny person who used it on her chicken page when showing her birds eating treats. I can't remember her name now, but it has become a household term here.

Gosh no, don't wipe it off. They'll clean themselves up in time enough. But me would love to see a photo of it!

I wouldnt, but i tell you what i would do. First, take a picture! Then see how long it takes . If they see to have difficulty opening their beaks, (gosh the yogurt must be thick ) then wipe it off as long as its no trouble, but im sure theyll be able to get it off!

I too, would love to see a picture. Also, they should be able to clean it off themselves. I mean, if they really have a problem you could help them out, but I think it would be pretty funny to watch them try and clean it off.

Thanks!

It was crazily thick; that was what made me wonder. I am going to give them some more tomorrow, since they liked it so much and will definitely post a pic. Thanks again!

Here it is -- the Icelandic Yogurt Photo Shoot. Maybe the Siggi Yogurt people will give my girls an endorsement contract.

Haha. The last one looks like she's wearing lipstick! I am assuming they cleaned themselves off?

LOL! You are totally right! 1960s mod white lipstick.

They did clean themselves off, amazingly.
