Uncle to Bebee
and Amy
What are your Cockatiel's favorite seeds? All I've tried Bebe on is sesame seeds and he doesn't seem interested. They're very small though, so it's hard to tell if he's eating them.
Jim never fed either of them seeds. Amy is overweight and seeds are fattening. He stopped feeding him peanuts for the same reason. Amy does however eat chop and fruits. Beebs won't. After reading the "How can I get my bird to eat veggies" thread, I'm looking for something that I can mix with chop to get him interested. Only thing he's guaranteed to eat is millet. I've read that a 'Tiel should have seeds in their diet, so... I'm looking for something he might like.The Tiel snobs should be along soon.
Although it is something that I normally do not recommend but, I would recommend that you stop by the local Pet Box Store that Jim visited and check what they recall him buying in the past! That should get you a starting place with something that BB will eat and from there you can work on upgrading if you need.
The most important thing is keeping them eating. Perfection is something that can come with time!
They will remember Amy, so take your camera phone to help them.
Cheers, Good Friend!!
