Neither cockatiels nor budgies like to eat red things - I once read that this might be because there is no indigenous red fruit in their territories but I don't know if that is true or even the case. But my other birds, including the zons, eat stuff of all colors: red, yellow, orange, blue, purple, etc. And my zons ADORE the darkish fuchsia stalks of the red Swiss Chard -it's pretty much the first thing they go for when they get it, especially Naida! Try cutting the grape tomatoes in half and showing them the inside, that's how I get the new birds to try them for the first time [I do the same thing with blueberries, grapes, etc.]
