Ollie won't touch chop despite many many (really) many attempts. He will sort of eat the veggies on a kabob but is he eating them though? Opinions and thoughts welcome...
It doesn't look like he is actually eating them.

Yeah looks like he's just having fun with it. Try serving it before his usual meal, maybe he's just not hungry.

Hmmm...I thought I got him at a good time because he had just sat down to eat after being on my shoulder for an hour. I'll try giving it to him right in the morning.

yep that's a good game of dismantle the veggies!

also if you haven't already try eating a bit yourself, he may not understand it's food

He's probably getting a little, but what LordTriggs said; if I want my bird to eat something, all I have to do is eat it and he will climb all over me to get it.

or make it like you don't want him to eat it! Then that bird will fight tooth and nail for whatever it is

I do eat them and he's not impressed lol. When he was a baby he used to try everything I ate but he has gotten more picky in his tween years.
