So my birds eat chop mainly, which in my case I mean food processed veggies when I say chop. I process it into fine bits because that's how most of my birds prefer it and it's the only way that my dove can eat it. But my jenday isn't too interested in it honestly.
This past weekend she saw the vet, who told me she's fat, and she needs to go on a diet lol. I consulted with my main vet on how to manage her dry food bowl (I'm cutting back on the number of nutriberries to encourage her to eat more pellets) but I'd like to try to encourage more fresh food intake too, to offset the nutriberries she won't be getting.
What are some whole veggies your birds get excited about? I'm going to try broccoli for sure since I feel like the florets might be a hit. Sugar snap peas or other pea pods seemed like it might be good but she's ignored those so far. Any others I should pick up from the produce section?
