just thought id drop a note to let u know how i was managing with the fruit and veg, well i short im no futher forward lol she will not touch it cooked,mashed,warm,cold,raw or puried not made into to toys or on my plate if i mix it with her seed she wont eat out of that bowl so i have stopped doin that cause its more important that she eats i still place it in her spare bowl daily but i think she is just never going to eat fruit or veg. thanks for all the advice i was given but she is just my stubbern bad tempered little darling lol

Well the important thing is to keep offering it, even though she does not touch it now does not mean that she will never eat it, sometimes right out of the blue they will eat it, keep at it.

 

Will she eat anything soft out of a spoon, I ask because I feed Josey a little cooked oatmeal with some baby food veggie in it and she gobbles it up for breakfast. I also add a little red palm oil to it, that helps the feathers.

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

she is a very strange bird indeed she wont eat toast or bread, she likes seed,sausage,burger,popcorn or twix and thats it if she cant have any of them then she would rather have nothing, im thinking that her pleasure in life is to make mine hard lol next door neighbour has blue and gold macaw and an AG they eat everything and anything thought if she saw other birds eating it she might but it turns out she hates other birds( secretly she is a little toddler in a birds body)but i will keep trying. thanks everyone

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.

lol no i dont feed her twix she likes twix,s this i know cause she goes mad if u have one its the only time she will fly to u and try and get it from u
