And I'm not even going to TALK about Chocobuckle.
You need to feed it Gyshal Greens the Mimett greens is one of the chocobo's favorite items to eat so it will take very little time for it to gobble it up, Gyshal Greens on the other hand is its least favorite item and thus will take longer to eat it. (like how you will always push brussle sprouts to the corner of the plate just to avoid eating them until its unavoidable lol).

Also I would recommend putting the greens at the very top of the item list just so you dont have to look for it.

P.s. if you cant be bothered to hunt for a chocobo to carry you across there is a way to avoid the Midgar Zolom by running across the marsh until it is very near you, save game and reload, it will be far away from you again, rinse and repeat.
