Hello! My once 'anything goes' conure is slowly becoming a picky eater. He avoids his broccoli and carrots and holds out for the apple and boiled rice. So I have to start doing chop mixes now. I used to just always chop his fruits and veggies for each meal, so I'm new to this chop mixing.
I have a few questions for those who have experience in this:
1. Is there anything I should avoid putting in the mix (besides the foods that are toxic of course)? For example, should I avoid mixing in highly acidic foods like tomatoes and oranges?
2. Does it spoil faster once it's served, compared to produce that is not 'mixed?'
3. Did your bird like it immediately or was there a period of transition?
