Hello! I was wondering if someone can help me and give me tips and tricks on how to get your bird to eat a variety of veggies in a chop!
My male, 4-5 month old cockatielās main diet is pellets. Occasionally he will eat some millet and seeds as treats, and he eats a tiny bit of veggies every day. So far I have introduced some veggies to him and he honestly only likes to eat them separately rather than all mixed together
So far, he Loves spinach, parsley and broccoli. I tried to give him some fruit like papaya, apples and pears but he really only licks them and then becomes uninterested. He only kinda likes green bell peppers, but not as much as the other veggies I mentioned above. Also, he is very scared of colourful things and food which I donāt understand why because I thought birds like colour!
I have made a chop of broccoli, spinach, parsley, a slice of apple, cucumber, and bell peppers. He really doesnāt eat the chop, he only likes it when I pick out his fave veggies out of it and feed him separately.
Pls help! I donāt want him to be on a all seed and pellet diet forever! I believe veggies are important for his growth and overall health. I really want my baby to live a long and healthy life
Can someone mention some tricks or tips they use for their picky eaters? Anyone know of new veggies to try out and how to get him to eat chop! Any recommendations will be very appreciated
Thanks to anyone who replies!
