Both my birds will eat fruits and vegetables no problem but I also make a special "bird cornbread" which has baby food vegetables, unsweetened applesauce, and frozen mixed vegetables. Most birds that won't flat out eat fruits and vegetables will eat them in "bread" form. It's easy to make and you can cut it into small pieces and freeze it and thaw pieces out as needed.

I totally agree that the conversion to pelletes will stimulate her to try a variety of fresh goodies.. Good luck~! :D


this sounds like a great idea!!!! ill give it a try! ;)
Im birdsitting this one :swaying: that refuses categorically to try them, even though my lovebirds do eat everything in front of him.


Thanks, hope it works for you... :)
