GCC treats?

[dennymcc]

My wife and I just got our second GCC. First is just seines, and the second one is young, but we are unsure about his age. At this point I'm trying to flicker condition the older one ( tango) I've tried almond slivers,and sunflower seeds so far. He didn't seem to like either. Any ideas on some treats I might offer?

Mine likes millet, walnuts, pear, papaya, wheat berries, orange juice or other fruit juices (always 100% juice, no sugar added), apple, pasta and raisins.

Individual birds will like different things, so you might have to experiment. You could put small pieces of a variety of nuts and fruits in a dish and give it to him first thing in the morning before you give him his regular food. Since he is hungry he will definitely eat it and then you can write down what he eats first, second, and third and use those as treats for training.

Definitely go with the suggestion above, they are all different. My GCC favours sunflower, apple, grapes and blueberry for treats. He isn't interested in millet or nuts.

My GCCs go CRAZY. For safflower seeds, those are the little white seeds in seed mixes. I buy mine in specialty wild bird stores, MUCH Cheaper around $10 for 2-3 lbs bags
