Can't get my baby gcc to eat her veggies.

[Mariellek]

Sorry if this seems repetitive, I know there is a lot of topics on similar problems to this, but I am in kind of stuck with this and need some advice. My young gcc is on a diet of pellets and some seeds(although she prefers the seeds) and is a pretty good eater. But I can't seem to get her to eat enough fruits, veggies, and grains. I tried eating it in front of her and making a big fuss about it. She responded to this by enthusiastically pretending to eat the food (by this I mean she picked it up and threw it all around the room instead of actually eating it). Although this is cute, it's not getting her the nutrition she needs. I am starting to get frustrated and I'm not sure what else I should try. Any advice would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks!

I've had good luck with really crunchy veggies (carrots, peppers), and leafy greens, and less luck with mushy or cooked ones. She likes if I make it a game for her and hang them from the top of her cage.

To get her to eat others (sweet potato etc) I have to get freeze dried from Golden Feast. otherwise she will not touch it. has to be nice and crunchy for my princess XD

hope this helps.

My birds wont touch their veggies with a nine foot pole! Haha but what I did was I got a juicer and mixed fruited and veggies into a juice and now they taste the fruits but are still getting veggies.
