One parrotlet isn't very picky... Monty. His favorite is oats groats, but he will eat dried greens and veggies and fruits that I get from the petstore. I gave him fresh apple and he take chunks out of it, but then I see the chunks on the bottom, I'm still not sure if he is actually eating any of it. He wipes his face off on the perch the juices are so gross on his face. It's really cute.
My other parrotlet Louie will nibble those dried stuff, although I'm not sure is he really eats any or if he enjoys chewing it up, because a lot seems to fall to the bottom. He will also eat fresh too, but he doesn't eat it fast enough and I am afraid it gets bacteria, so I take it out and replace it. So he never gets enough time to get "used to" the new thing and get curious to try it. and wont touch any of it. I try to put it in the same spot in the same dish.
I usually cut it up even smaller, small little bitty minced pieces.
i used to do zupreme, but started the new birds on exact. I also heard burly bush (someting like that )
Is a good one. It is the one that is brown and smooshy.
