My redfoots have pretty much picked this little hibiscus bush in their enclosure clean. I was wondering how they were getting the leaves off the branches up high.
I was walking by their enclosure today and noticed that the male was using his weight to hold the branches down while the larger female stood underneath and the smallest female propped herself up against her to reach the leaves. (I didn't capture it very well because my digital camera battery was dying).
Kinda neat to see these little industrious guys working as a team.
