What are some good treats for giving my Black Capped Conure when training him? He is 3 months old and my first bird. I want to make sure I feed him something that is special so it seems like a reward and also not too filling, and of course not unhealthy!

Thanks in advance!

I use tiny, non oily sunflower seeds-ok, pieces of walnuts, pecans,almonds-good,
Since nuts are a major part of my diet, I buy in bulk(Costco) and freeze.

Blue Fronted Amazon, Cookie..Sun Conure..lil Booger (RIP) Have owned Parakeets, lovebirds, cockatiels, cockatoos, pocket parrot, and quakers.
Try pine nuts... very high in protein. As mentioned.. almonds sliced or slivered... its got heart healthy omega 3 in it according to my vet.

Pine nuts. My Salty would write a novella for a pine nut.
Use 1/2 or 1/3 pine nut , smallest piece you can.
Salty ignores sunflower seeds and is OK with Walnuts.
He is so picky !

My black capped loves Safflower seeds more than anything. They are the little white seeds. There is a mix for African greys called safflower gold I think. It is great for treats. He will do anything for those white seeds.
