Yes, I'm munging two different topics here, but hey...
On the kibble on the roof of the mouth subject:

Instead of a pen or something hard that would scrape and hurt the roof
of their mouth, I've found that a soft spatula works better--I had a
tiny female whose mouth was just the right size to get pieces stuck,
and so I transitioned her over to another food...but while she was
still eating the old food, I kept the spatula handy. This was one of
those tiny spatulas. Yes, it was rubber, but never left where she
could get a hold of it.

Compare yours to this picture:

I'm guessing that what you have is some sort of Oncidium, and you can
read more about it here:

I'm guessing from looking at the flowers and the foliage... :-)
