Fresh food

[eliholtman]

Hey so I've been trying to get kiwi to eat fresh fruits and veggies I've been cutting up some apple and lettuce and placing it on top of his seed mix and even tried placing it around his millet but so far no luck has been made. What would you guys recommend? Thanks

Try a chop or birdie bread recipe. Eat it (or pretend to) around Kiwi and make a big deal about how good it is. Have Kiwi eat with you and give him some healthy treats off your plate.

Here's my diet spiel.


Harrison's Bird Foods
I feed Harrison's, supplemented by fresh healthy treats. My first, and later, my current avian vet recommended it. My bird loves the pellets now, but to get him converted, my avian vet suggested putting pellets out all day, and putting seeds (his old diet) out for two 15-minute periods a day. That would sustain him but leave him hungry enough to try new stuff. I presume the same technique could be used to get him to eat other healthy stuff. My guy was eating pellets in a couple of days, and now I can feed a good variety of other stuff, knowing he has the pellets as a basic. Pellets are out all day... fresh treats a few times a day. I also like Harrison's via mail because I never have to worry about out-of-date products.

Good for you, for researching and reaching out!
