deedee i would not feed burger & sausage to often & the twix is a big NO NO Chocolate is poisonous to birds & affects a bird's digestive system, causing vomiting and diarrhea. As the condition progresses, the bird's central nervous system is affected, first causing seizures and eventually death.
Sneezing is common if it is just as you say periodically ,if he is sneezing a great deal and if mucus or fluid are present then this would be cause for concern as this would indicate some kind of illness.
deedee as Judy said never give up, keep offering it to her,never say never !! I sometimes blend some vegtables in to a smooth paste & spread it on wholemeal toast or try a fruit mix ,a jar of baby food spread on toast, worth a try
