aww...sorry to hear this. This might not help but maybe a try would be worth it. My Amigo is almost 10 yrs. but loves oatmeal. I didn't know this till I was sitting by his cage one morning eating my oatmeal and he came down his cage, onto me, very curious. I scooped him up a bite on my spoon and he was hooked! I had been trying to move him from parrot seed to Zupreem parrot pellets and he would just pick them out and give them a fling. I have a spice grinder, (that I cleaned out), ground up a few pellets, mixed it with his oatmeal before cooking, and he's going for it! All I'm trying to say is, oatmeal on a spoon - then to a bowl, might get him started.
