wanna get your grey and other birds to eat their pellets?

[lisachristine]

1. Place the pellets in a food process and blend until powder

2. Heat up about two tablespoons of water

3. Add the powder to the water until its similar consistency of oatmeal

4. If your bird likes bananas, add a small amount and mix well

*caution be careful of the temp before you feed it to your bird (don't burn their crop)

My birds will only eat this if it is just the right temp, too cold and forget it. Both my grey and sun conure would NEVER touch their pellets. After months of trying everything to get them to eat it, this technique finally came to me. They were afraid of the spoon for the first week, but once they got a mouth full they couldn't get enough. Now when my gray Rosie is hungry she will say "yum". If you listen carefully you can hear her! I feed them every night before I head off to bed. Good luck!

I am having that problem now...for four months trying to get my grey Dolly and Eclectus Oliver to eat TOPS pellets...nope. Not having it. Won't eat it. It's exhausting trying new things....BUT I haven't done this yet Lisachristine! I am going to try this tomorrow. I even tried putting it in unhealthy cornbread muffins that they LOVE and they wouldn't eat even that. So hopefully this works.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I think this is a great idea too ... Marco stopped eating the pellets as well and I got all worried she wasnt going to get something important she needs. I do bake it in the birdie bread and she'll eat them there, thankfully she eats her veges/fruits wonderfully but this blending up idea is really great Im gonna try it too
