So I have a cockatiel parrot called George whos about a year and a half now. Hes a lovely little parrot - very snuggly and loves all the attention he gets and loves to goof around - he even plays peakaboo!. He’s out of his cage all day and is with someone 24/7 (mostly me). I’ve had him for about 7 months now and he’s grown very attached to me. The one problem is, he doesn’t eat fruit and practically turns his nose up at any fruit or veg I put in his bowl. He just avoids it if it’s there. This is partly because his previous owner had him on an all seed diet and I’ve managed to get pellets into his diet during these months and have cut down on the amount of seed in there. Now all I need to do is get him to eat his fruit and veg to balance everything out.
Got any tips on how to get a fussy parrot to eat fruit and veg? I’ve tried just putting it in his bowl every so often so he grows used to it - didn’t work. Even tried eating some infront of him as he’s usually very interested in what I’m eating, but, yet again, no. I’m really struggling and I don’t want to miss the opportunity of getting him on this sort of diet so I’d kindly like to take some advice right now! Thank you !
