Macaroni: 15 to start- picked up 8. Coco Puffs: 45 to start- picked up 10. Fruity Pebbles: 40 to start- picked up 31. I used an eyebrow tweezer as my beak. I originally thought that I would not pick up as many of the macaroni as I did, but I picked up about half of the entire macaroni portion. I thought that the coco puffs would be more difficult to pick up because they are spherical and that was the type of seed that was least picked up out of all three seed types.
