Hi Everyone
Diego is incredibly picky with his food and does not want to eat pellets, Parrot fruit mix or any kind of seeds and nuts. The only thing that he will eat is melon and apple.
I have only been keeping apple and melon as a treat hoping that he will start to eat his other food rather than leaving it after picking out his favourites. This does not seem to be working and I now have a very hungry Diego who is constantly calling me and making it known that he wants food.
Today I bought some berries and other fruit including banana that I thought I could mash up and mix with his normal food to coat it and therefore making it more interesting for him, but he stuck his beak in took a piece then dropped it on the floor.
I don't know what to do, I don't want him to be hungry and am very close to giving him a bowl of apple just so that he has some food him. However, I feel that this is giving in and he will know that eventually I will feel sorry for him and give him what he wants.
I'm not sure why he is such a fussy eater, I do know that the breeder gave him pretty much a fruit only diet. But I always thought that Amazons were normally great eaters and would try and eat anything?
Hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks
Carolina.
