He almost eats everything but greens. Any advice on getting him to eat more of it? :white1:
 
The best way I can get my galah to eat her veggies is with a chop mix. When I give her sliced veggies & fruits she takes great pleasure from carefully picking up each piece and dropping it on the floor, she's crazy about her chop mix though. Before she wouldn't eat anything fresh.

shish kebab are also useful, also making the greens into a toy so they are putting it in their mouth and realize it's kind of tasty.

Try pureing or chopping super fine and stirring into what she normally eats. Might get her a taste for it. Some birds also take well to greens hung from the top of their cage dripping wet.
 
You can also try to forage them inside a foraging toy. It also could help if you were eating the vegies in front of him. Last advise it to keep offering him the vegies even though he doesn't look interested one day he'll try it.
