Since you have a Conure, I would suggest that you consider dried fruit. I would place a variety of organic dried fruit out on a flat dish and note what he chooses and in what order he chooses it. Do this several times and compare results. The food that he chooses first on a consistent basis is his favorite. This should yield two or three foods that he will accept as treats.
