Are any of your birds picky eaters? My sun conure Nicky is so fussy about food and I don't know how to give him a nutritious diet. I have tried switching him over to pellets several times and it worked for about a week and then he wasn't eating that much so I put him back on a seed diet. I know that he will starve himself because he has done that once before and I had to make an emergency run to the pet store to get him the food he likes. He used to love dried papaya and pineapple but not so much anymore. He loves walnuts, peanuts, and fresh fruit but I only give those as treats. He will not eat vegetables. He picks out and pretty much only eats the safflower seeds from his food and I know those are fattening. I was thinking of getting those vitamin drops for his water but I know that won't be enough. I don't know what to do! Should I try slowly converting him to pellets again? If so, does anybody have any suggestions for what kind to get?
Nicky is 7 years old and I had him since he was 10 weeks old. He never used to be this picky when he was younger. I want my baby to live a long and healthy life. Please help!
