New Baby Quaker (Mango)

[Laurasea]

I use the concrete perches or calcium perche's. I personally don't like the sand perches. I used to have one and my birds feet got roughed up.

Thank you very much!

Any tips on how to get Mango to try different foods? He won't eat anything but his pellets. Should i remove his pellets and put different things in his bowl that maybe he will try once he gets hungry? He wont even try seeds which my parents Quakers LOVE.

Never try and starve a bird to change food
Did you read the links I gave you before? It covers diet conversion in at least done if them

He will need to learn that other stuff is food. Est it with him. Keep trying. My re-home Pikachu didn't eat veggies at first or want to try new things. He eats everything now. One I have fed a lot of stuff, even if he south it out or just touched it. I ate it in front of him. But I also have a flock that eats veggies so they showed him the way too.

Hi Laura,

yes i did read the links you provided thank you! the information on there was mostly about converting from a seed diet to something healthier, in my case i am trying to convince my bird that treats are good lol. maybe i am just rushing him too much i forget sometimes that he is only 3months old. i will keep offering him different things, do you think its a good idea to leave like a "treat bowl" separately or should i add things to his pellet bowl and maybe as he is eating his pellets he will try something else?

Thanks again!

Try eating it in front of him (don't swap spit or feed him what you have bitten off of/what your dirty fork touched) but make him a little portion and then eat it on a separate plate in front of him. When he shows curiosity, pick up some from the separate plate and act like it came from yours lol.
