I'm finding after 5 days with Oatty he's a very seed-favoring bird. The previous owner did not send any food with him and when I asked her answer was very vague. I picked up a more "treaty" blend of stuff at the local pet store knowing there was a bunch of different things I could offer him until I figured something else out. After all, his first few days were expected to be uncomfortable and eating something was better than nothing. Little did I know he would be a champ! He's so friendly and outgoing! He's even starting to eat a few things I'm sure he's never been exposed to (peppers! Quinoa!).
I have noticed he likes very tiny things(quinoa size). He prefers the very small seeds over the larger ones. When I crumble the pellets in this mix, he will try them, but not even a chance if they are whole. I've decided to go with Harrison's...
My questions are...
Should I start him on the super fine Harrison's or is the fine pretty small?
Harrison's website says they should be on the high potency for 6 mos first...should I do that since he's been on a crappy diet? What is the reasoning behind this?
He is at the very end stages of a nice healthy molt(I think)...does that make a difference?
Thanks for your help! Everyone has been so kind!
