To soon for food conversion?

[cat1hi]

So I fell in love with my new baby Sun Conure, Tinkerbelle. We currently have a Dutch Cabuchen Pidgeon but recently lost out Cockatiel. I had been studying these conures and have been wanting one so now seemed the time.
Now I realize I have alot to learn and will need help, so here I am. My little guy steps up on our fingers for food, spends 1/3 of the day out interacting with us and I have started food management.
Tink has been home with us for 10 days from pet supermarket where they did a very good job stopping it from biting. I brought home its nasty junk food from the store so as not to traumatize my little one to much. One of the first things I want to do it transition the little guy to healthy pellets.
So yesterday we free fed him and this morning he weighs 99 grams. This seems like its average weight. Tink has not offered to eat anything but the colored sugary food from the store. Generally we feed Harrisons, this time I bought high potency. I contacted the store to get a hatch date but have not heard back yet. Tink appears to still have his juvenile coloring.
The question is how to get Tink off the junk food onto Harrisons, any suggestions for a newbie? Is it to soon? Is Tink to young to only give it only Harrisons and force conversion? Tink is not getting any seed at this time.
This is my first forum, so I will be learning about forums as well as juvenile Sun Conures. Thanks Cat1hi
I will try to embed a link to Tinks pic

Welcome to the forum.

Offer him foods that you eat and eat in front of him. When you make oatmeal use steel cut and separate some for him before milk and sugar. Just make sure, and this includes everything else you feed him, that there is no added salt or sugar. Keep the iron and protein low. Don't feed human cereal. Cut back on the junk seed he has been getting. Harrison's is also high in protein. The protein can cause liver damage.

Others will follow who know more than I. Just getting in my 2 cents.

The average weight of a sun conure is 120 grams but you have a baby there so keep on weighting it every day, at the same time, to make sure he is gaining (they tend to lose weight when they first go to a new house and steady gain is a good indicator of health in a baby -as long as he is getting healthy food and not just carbs, of course!). He is too young for adult food, my dear. He needs baby food still. I gave you a longer answer on your other thread.
