In the past few days I've been trying to offer Oliver some fresh fruits and veggies. Other than celery leaves and lettuce, he doesn't eat them at all, and if I hand feed them to him he just throws them away. He loves pellets, seeds, peanuts and corn (and corn tortillas which he soaks in water).
Today I gave him a little bit of dried papaya and he LOVED IT! He even dropped it by accident and went all the way to rescue the little piece. So I decided to give him some fresh papaya and just by touching it with his beak he decided that he doesn't like it.
I just feel like he doesn't really enjoy ''fresh'' things. Now, I won't give up trying to feed him new foods, but I'm wondering if for the sake of him eating anthing else other than pellets, seeds and lettuce, is it okay to feed him dried fruits?
What I plan to do is give him a piece of dried fruit and then a small piece of fresh fruit... and repeat lol
Also, what fruits do your birdies love the most?
