Chop recommendation for cockatiel

[Safamirza🤍]

Hello I have a male cockatiel named Kiko.

Can someone please recommend good veggies to put in chop for him? I am trying to get him to eat veggies everyday which he doesn’t do. He is very picky!! He gets scared of foods that are too colourful. He does like to munch on spinach leaves and oregano sometimes.

Also, how many veggies should be in a chop?

Thanks to anyone who replies 💗

My tiels eat most veggies, as long as they are in very small pieces.
I’d say try and get as many veggies as you can, I usually use 10-12.
Chopping them up in the NutriBullet works great to get it fine enough.
You could use a food processor too.
I also mix sprouts in, the tiels really like sprouted quinoa.
You could try mixing ground flaxseed into the veg, as it gives it a nutty flavor.

Are there any specific type of veggies that should NOT be fed or any with not a lot of nutritional values?

I wouldn’t feed spinach every day, it’s high in oxalate which, in excess, can cause your bird to have a harder time absorbing calcium.
I can’t think of any with little nutritional value but nutritional powerhouse fruit and veg include, dragonfruit, pomegranate, Swiss chard, and butternut squash.
