Picky Bird!

Postby Lesa1211 » Tue Apr 24, 2012 2:37 pm

Does anyone have any suggestions for a picky eater? Im still trying new things out, but so far we have tried ALOT. Kia only seems to like banannas and broccoli. Thats it. Is there a way I can get her to eat more of a variety? I cook her veggies, rice, pasta, eggs and I give her raw veggies, fresh fruits. She just doest eat them so I always resort back to the broccoli or banannas. She's young so if I can fix this I would like to before she's set in her ways.

Can she use her talons to hold the food while eating?

My RB2 seemed to not like much when I 1st got her [maybe its a 2 thing] I dont know why I tried this ,But instead of using seperate bowls for seed,pellets ,veg n fruits and whatever else .I put it all together in one big bowl [I think she likes the foraging] she eats really well now. I do this for all my birds [Less waste].
