PEA Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I give her roughly 3 meals a day of this kind of stuff (pellets soaked in pineapple juice, sprouted chic pees, veg, fruit and seeds. I sometimes feel like she's not getting a goof variety of different foods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 All looks good except for that peanut. There is some concern over peanuts and aflatoxins and aspergillosis. Some here will bake their peanuts before giving to a bird to kill the fungal spores within the shell. I avoid them altogether. To many other good choices like almonds and pecans. I also never give my birds a nut with the shell intact unless I've had a good look at it. I've come across to many off looking nuts that I crack open and find a hideous version of what was supposed to be in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 WOW! Looks great! I still give Sophie that peanut, gotten from my bird store! Remember, even if they don't like it at first.... try and try again! Focus on veggies Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murfchck Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Pellets take time for a lot of birds. Keep trying by leaving them in the cage, change them out to keep them fresh. Most of mine will carry the pellet to their water bowl and make soup. They don't eat a bowl full, this coming from the queen of over feeding. Took years for me to learn that just because it is a big bowl, it doesn't mean it needs to be full and they definitely won't eat everything in it. I still do shelled nuts but I check them to be clean before they get them, by clean I mean no black discoloring. There are several threads on here also about sprouting, chickpeas are one of many so explore adding more of that! I love to sprout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 What about adding red bell peppers, carrots, leafy greens (not spinach), pomegranate seeds, broccoli, and most definitely sweet potatoes. Some greys like partial steamed carrots and broccoli, while others like them raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Sophie loves her veggies grilled! She really just likes what we all eat, has her own place setting at the table. I know that sounds shocking...but... we DID choose to adopt a grey! They want to be a member of the family. She is considered as " the baby", even though she is 15. She eats very well!
