Ghestal Greens

So we've noticed some curious properties of Ghestal Greens while doing experiments with Chocobo feeding. Apparently, although these greens are the most common, various forms of Chocobos will eat these more readily than the better tasting other varieties. But why would a chocobo pass up one of the greatest treats for a simple meager meal.

We think we know why! The Chocobo is a creature strong in habits, and it does not like to do new things. That's one reason we don't have any yellow Chocobos hurting themselves by trying to climb up mountains. The regular choco is used to the color, texture, and smell of regular greens - and so would prefer them at first. We did find, however, that if provided the better greens often enough, Chocobo might develop an over appetite for these greens and not accept anything less, making it difficult to feed.

*ahem* Now that I have your attention, welcome to the world of the Moogle's Chocobo Farm. We're the Moogles who love our Chocobo friends - and if you don't like either of us then shoo! ^_^

About Moogles
They look a little like white teddy bears with a few feline features. They've also got an antenna-like red pom-pom on their heads and two tiny bat wings on their backs. Some of them have other color pom-poms, and other moogles have had their bodies spray-painted different colors! Moogles are so great!

About Chocobos
A Chocobo is a large, normally flightless galliforme/ratite bird that can be tamed and ridden, and is a staple of the Final Fantasy series. Ordinary Chocobos are yellow, but certain rare breeds are of different colors and have special abilities, such as crossing mountains or flight. Some such as the golden chocobo or black chocobo combine different abilities. An even rarer, more extreme variant is the Fat Chocobo (or Chubby Chocobo), which resembles a morbidly obese yellow or white chocobo and can humorously stock the party's items in its stomach or appear randomly when summoning a chocobo in battle. Chocobos have also occasionally been sighted as lightly armored war mounts in which case they can assist their riders with beak and claw. Overall, the species is a very versatile and useful bird, which comes in handy as horses are untamed or non-existent.
