Feeding Your Chocobo

Hunger

• Gysahl Greens satisfy the chocobo's hunger and raise its affection.

Attributes

• Vomp Carrots affect the chocobo's physical attributes. Also lowers mental attributes(?) Seems to raise Strength only, see discussion for details.
• Zegham Carrots affect the chocobo's mental attributes. Also lowers physical attributes(?)
• Cupid Worms increase the chocobo's affection.

Affection

• It seems that feeding your chocobo anything at all raises your chocobo's affection. It may be possibly that all foods increase affection but each food raises affection by different amounts.

New discovery, it appears that feeding your chocobo anything that it munches "contently" on raises it affection, it also occurs with "Swallows in one gulp". Feeding your chocobo when the message "Chocobo eats <food>" may lower affection. See discussion for more details.

All Unknown Effects

• San d'Orian Carrot Unknown effect
• Carrot Paste increases the chocobo's Endurance. Unknown if this is the only effect.
• Herb Paste May cure illness. Unknown if this is the only effect.
• Vegetable Paste Undetermined effect
• Worm Paste Undetermined effect
• Parasite Worm Undetermined effect
• Chocotonic Wakes chocobo, side effects unknown.

Levels of Satisfaction

• Starving
• Quite hungry
• A little hungry
• Neither hungry nor full
• Almost full
• Quite full
• Completely full

Each chocobo will respond to feeds differently. This may hint at a particular feed that the chocobo likes. The different types of reactions are as follows:

Your chocobo eats the "Name of Feed." 

Has the lowest increase to hunger. Starving -> Quite Hungry.

Feeding your chocobo any food that gives this message may also reduce affection by nearly one level per feeding, stat boosts may be much lower also.

Your chocobo munches contentedly on the "Name of Feed." 

Has a moderate increase to hunger. Starving -> A little hungry.

Also increases affection slightly.

Your chocobo gobbles down the "Name of Feed" in a single gulp! 

Has the largest increase to hunger. Starving -> Neither hungry nor full.

Increases affection when this message occurs.

Your chocobo munches weakly on the "Name of Feed". 

Unknown. Seen after chocobo had been asleep for two days without food but was not legitimately sick; it seemed it was only weak from hunger. Also seen when feeding your chocobo while it is "bored and restless," as well as when the chocobo is legitimately sick.

Your chocobo seems to be forcing itself to eat the "Name of Feed". 

Seems to be the result when your chocobo is already "completely full" and you try to feed it again. Seems to cancel out the effect of the food, a Chocolixir does not restore the Chocobo's energy when this message shows up.

Effects of Worms

Feeding your chocobo a worm (e.g. Gregarious, Parasite, Cupid) can have beneficial effects as described above. However, feeding your chocobo a worm "at the wrong time" can have no effect, or possibly negative effects. It is currently unknown what constitutes a wrong or right time to feed a Chocobo worms. The running theory stands the "right" time may be when your chocobo is "receptive to anything you give it" (paraphrase), and the "wrong" time may be considered any other day. Another possibility is that when the chocobo is full, it is the "wrong time" to feed it a worm.

There is also another theory that states if a chocobo is a fed a worm before day 63, it can result into negative effects. If a chocobo is fed a worm at day 63 or after, no negative effects can occur. Testing is needed though.
