Were they want their bowls

[Tman007]

They may have learned a few things from me, but I have learned a few things from them. And one is were Amos wants his bowls. Once I feed them in the morning I would sit in my chair across the room and watch them to see what they do. If they like what I made or if I need to try something else. One thing I notice was that Amos(Jenday Conure) would grab a piece of food and go up about half way and eat it. He did this every time. So I move the bowls up to the half way point were he would stop and eat and that made him happy. He now can sit and eat without having to move. I would have to say sitting and just watching them you can really learn a few things. As for Andy if I try him on a new food I have to give some to Amos first and if he likes it Andy will try it. LOL I tried them on some baby food. I put some on a spoon and Amos pulled back a bit from the spoon, so I put my finger in the baby food on the spoon and let Amos watch me do it then I put my finger up to the cage so he could lick it off my finger a few times, and he like the sweet potato, but as for the berry fruit mix he just shook his head and would not touch it again. So then after a few more times putting my finger in the spoon of food I slowly lifted up the spoon to him and he ate it off the spoon. So after that the next day I went out and bought a few sweet potato's and made one up for him. I cooked it and then I just gave him the inside of it. and mashed it up for him and he loved it. I am making a list who likes what, so I know how to make up their dishes.
sorry post is so long but I am really having fun with these guys.

Your list is a good thing ,but don't get in a hurry as you will find that it will change a lot. I f one will eat a food most of the time the other will too if you give to them and be patient. Sometimes they may simply like it fixed differently mashed instead of pieces and so on.

I have read what you and others have posted about not to give up trying that it may take awhile for them to come around. So I am not giving up just trying to get some fruit and veggies they like for now to get them to eat them. Just a note for everyone what I have found out is if you see your parrot not eating try and move the bowl if it's low move it higher, if it's high try moving some place else. both of my birds when I moved their bowls higher the started to eat more of what was in the bowls. Just my thought.
Thanks Tom

I forgot to mentions that I bought a book on parrot nutrition. It's called The healthy Bird Cookbook by Robin Deutsch. It has 150 recipes in it.
