They've eaten all kinds of beans, but never any made with molasses. Apparently that is the atomic reaction necessary to allow my cockatiel to "blow" sticky brown beans all over my walls. I'll be up on the ladder all day cleaning this one up. No ill effects noted, but nuclear butt is not pretty!

I've never tried feeding mine those, but now I know I shouldn't. Nuclear butt!!

Dry beans will flake right off with a little fingernail scrape and then wash clean. Kind of like cockatiel poop on the sofa - DON'T TOUCH IT UNTIL IT DRIES! (probably more information than you ever wanted but I believe in due diligence!)

I don't particularly like molasses myself, but I'll take a good old fashioned shoo fly pie anytime!!!
