Is Aoodi getting the benefit of vegetables

[hbalkhi]

:confused: I have started serving vegetables to Aoodi, but all I'm seeing that he cuts it and throw it away, in the seem time he eats very very small amount of it, and the rest are on the floor:rolleyes:....

 

 

why he's doing this? And is he getting the benefit of vegetables by doing this? :confused:

He will be getting a taste and becoming familiar with how they look and taste. To get him to eat more of them try chopping them very fine and add to his other foods kind of shake them together and the veggies will coat the seed or pellets. He will have to ingest some that way. Do not leave in the food bowl in warm weather for more than 2 hours to avoid spoilage. They eat best in the morning after fasting during the night so it is the best time to try new things.

Aoodi is alright, to learn to eat veggies some times takes a while. Greywing's suggestions are good, I don't personally mix damp food with dry food and let it sit. I feed our fids chunks or large pieces so the get a form of foraging. If Aoodi is cutting his veggies, then he's on the road deciding what he likes and dislikes. Give him a assortment, 3 or 4 different types of veggies a day for a few days, the ones he"Don't touch", repalce with a different type of veggie and keep a list of likes and dislikes...It takes time!!! Note: "Abundant Feeding" Keep enough food in his cage at all times, enough for more then one bird, slowly cut down as you find out what he likes......Jayd
