Does anyone else have a cockatiel that eats only certain colours?

The only vegetable my cockatiel will eat are green ones, so peas or cucumber. I have a feeling she's not all there when it comes to intelligence, haha. Anyone else have this?
 
Our cockatiels will eat corn off the cob, as well as apple and occasional kumara, so they don't conform to the "green only" rule:)

Merlin (senegal) loves red, yellow and peas. Part of the reason he's on Harrissons and not a 'coloured' food, because he'll just pick which colours he likes best otherwise!
 
Like Mayden's Merlin in the previous post, Pritti (Cherry-headed conure) will eat colorful pellet mixes in a color order.

I'm not familiar with proper diets for tiels, but if these are good foods for him Iyou could try giving your tiel a mix of veggies which does not include any green. Like sliced yellow and red peppers, orange sweet potato, one or two inch piece of corn on the cob, carrot, etc.
