Hi fellow parrot lovers. I have an almost 9 week old IRN Piper, I've never had a baby this young and when I got her a week ago she has not tasted anything but Aviplus birdy porridge. So I did feed her that and then decided on the second night she can have some halfboiled butternut mixed in with a bit of the Aviplus. She absolutely loves it, I've now taken to giving butternut for dinner and Aviplus in the mornings. I've also given her a few peeled crushed sunflower seeds and peeled crushed peanuts. I leave some budgie seeds and the sunflower at the bottom of her cage and she has been foraging in it a lot. So she's been foraging so much that last night she only had a few bites and this morning the same. So I saw her today earting from the foraging bowl, I take it this is a good time to expand her diet. Any ideas? Also what spices may I start using that won't b too harsh on her just yet, and is she still too young for birdybread?

I don't think she's too young for Birdy Bread. Birdy Bread is pretty soft, so she may like it.
You could also try gently heated peas, beans, and carrots. Corn, some fruits cut into small chunks. :)
