It feels good when your bird start eatting healthy food i know. My little guy has started to love his blue berries. So we will keep trying more.

Good job.

Indeed it's feels like a major accomplishment... I want happy pets over everything else... Striving for balance between seed, fruit and pellets..

Great to see parrots eating something healthy. Hope there are some veggies in there also as this should amount to a higher proportion of their diet than fruit.

Vegetables are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates and should comprise 15-30% of their diet. Fruits, which are higher in sugar and moisture, should comprise about 5%.

Very pleased to hear you are enjoying your Conures, they are lovely.

Yes definitely agree, one thing is to make sure they are not full from seed/pellets and therefore do not need/want any veggies. Remember if you are eating it they want to eat it too LOL good luck

Very true that - if you are having pizza - "We want pizza", if you are eating pasta "We want pasta", if you are eating sushi - "Whoa wait a second dude that is gong too far, keep nasty sushi for your selves!+
