Flyers do hoard food, Nancy--some more than others. My group love to play the "hoarding" game! They store them anywhere and everywhere--corners, knotholes in boards, inside the wheels, balanced on the branches, etc.--they will fit, not just in their nest boxes or overalls! It's so funny to watch, because the flyers hide them by night on the aviary and in their animal room; then, in the light of day, the grays start the search for where the flyers have put them; once found, the grays rehide them in another spot! Then at night, the scenario is repeated! Obviously, their supply includes enough to eat their fill and hide a bunch, too!
