Anyone have any secret sure fire ways to get a seriously picky bird to eat something different? She a 9yr old galah and ive been told shes only been fed seed. Ive had her 2 months and ive tried desperatly to find atleast 1 thing she likes as a gateway to trying new stuff. SHE DOESNT EVEN LIKE...

These are a list of some of the fruits and vegetables my parrots have tried and like: Lettuce, Romaine Lettuce, Carrots, Celery, (just the stalk cuz the leaves are bad for your bird) Bell Pepper, Raspberries, Strawberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Granny Smith Apples, Spinach, Banana...

Hello, i got my albino female cockatiel named sally around 6 or so years ago from an owner, i'm unsure of how old my albino cockatiel is but since i've had her for a while i'm probably guessing she's around 12 years old. Sally developed a cataract in her left eye 3 years ago i think, and just...

Hey guys, I hope I'm not being annoying by posing this question but currently I'm really trying to change my parrots diet. I've sort of struggled with finding scientific avian nutrition books that are also affordable? I know Bird Tricks has one but quite frankly, without doubting their...

Hello everybody, I rescued a red lored amazon who is 25 years old and she doesn't and hasn't eaten fruit, veg or pellets before and she has hypocalcemia so I am desperately trying to get her to eat them all. Does anyone have any tips on introducing new food and pellets to her? She is extremely...

Can I offer kale everyday along with peppers broccoli carrots to the budgies I heard kale can block calcium absorption so how much is too much.

I've had my female Eclectus for about 6 months now. She is 4 years old. Her previous owner said she was given fresh all the time, but everything I offer her (and I've tried everything!) she just throws at the bottom of her cage where it spoils, and I remove it. The only veggie I've gotten her...

My birds are pretty good at eating their fruit and veg, some of them like it more than others but that's not the problem. With leafy greens like kale and spinach, I've tried putting it in a regular food bowl (cover on and off), tried getting a bunch and wedging between the bars, and putting it...

Has once again deemed veggies as a-okay. But, only if chopped in tiny pieces ! We'll see how long this phase lasts. In my experience, I have to constantly come up with new and inventive ways to present food or it's beneath her dignity to consume. It was satisfying to hear her making contented...

I've just added something to Bellas vegetables and I think it's a winner! Organic baby food! Just drizzled and mixed a spoonful into her food and voila! A slightly more palatable meal and the great thing is there's no added anything - just pure organic fruit and veg! Note: It would have been...

Title pretty much says it all. My tiel is a seed junkie and I'm working on getting him to try veggies and fruits. I have given him peas, carrots, apples, cauliflower, and celery so far. He instead pecks at the dried poop in his cage instead of eating his veggies..he hasn't eaten any in 2 days...

We just got a BFA a week ago. It will only eat seeds and peanuts. We have not tried to pick her up. Baby steps for me and her (lily). I have fed her peanuts as a treat through the cage 1st and now with the door open. She refuses to take bananas or carrots or broccoli or anything food wise...

Hi everyone, New to the forum and new to larger birds. We've had cockatiels in the home for about 6 years or so and green cheek conures for about 3. They are all my daughter's babies, but the conures were the ones who turned me into a bird fan.. hate to say, but still not a fan of the...

I've been trying to get Reginald to eat vegetables since I first brought him home a year ago. Broccoli just got preened, most things are just thrown on the floor, but he does like nibbling on spinach and green beans. Having some free time today, I drove to Central Market and picked up a wide...

Hey everyone, my name is Andrea. I currently have only one bird, a budgie named Fynn. I am currently working on hand taming him as he hasn't had much human interaction. :smiley2: He's a sweet little guy, and i'm also working on getting him off of the dreaded seed only diet. I'm pretty sure he...

Its week 2 of the diet makeover in our house. We have had numerous dumping of the pellets & veggie bowls, days of constant screaming, days that mommy is not his favorite person anymore. I've heard that you can't out stubborn an amazon & I'm believing it. :mad: I have eliminated the seeds...
