Senegal parrot female!
Hi everyone!

I have a female Senegal who is almost 4 months old. I got her a month ago and haven't been able to figure out to introduce her to fresh fruits and vegetables. She eats apple, corn, spinach only and won't touch anything else. I've tried making chop and mixing more fresh foods in there but I don't think she's eating it.

The next thing is, she doesn't respond to "treats". A lot of training videos say you have to win them over with their favourite food - but she doesn't even have a favourite food (used to do anything for apples but now her taste has changed). I've tried putting millet and sunflower seeds in her bowl but she's actually scared of it all.

How do slowly introduce her to a wider variety of foods? How do we get her to accept treats so we can start to train her?

Thanks in advance!
