B&G Macaw, Galah, 5 cockatiels, 50 billion and a half budgies. We breed and do rescue. Too many to list each individual's name and age etc, but they are each individuals and loved dearly.
I really should get around to making a thread for 'im. Ah well, not today.

I've tricked him into eating some harrisons some of the time. I got the super tiny niblet size, which is just about the same size as his zupreem fruitybits pieces(finch size. Sigh.). Alex treats them almost like any other color niblet. His spoiled butt eats them one color at a time (the order changes every so often, but he always shuns 1 or 2 colors till the very end). Eventually it will be harrisons and one color of fruitybit, then mostly harrisons, then harrisons powder and then an empty dish. Obviously his least favorite niblet, but he does eat them! Whoo hooooooo!! And no I'm not starving him into it. When Alex doesn't have any food he finds acceptable he gets very loud and insistent until I get him food he deems good enough for his spoiled yellowness. So the harrisons passes the Alex test now. The high potentcy teeny tiny niblet size anyway. Progress.

Fatty still resists, tho he has finally given in on the millet thing after Alex raided Fort Fatty and stole his a few times and he got jealous. Silly thing.
