Dislike for Birdie Bread?

[Lysis]

I know most of you have greys that love birdie bread, but I just wanted to know that I'm not alone here. My bird (an amazon, who is, I believe a reincarnated grey) doesn't really care for it (and I tried different versions, even ones with seeds). She nibbles at it, at most, but now she ignores it going for the sweet potato first. Yes, she is a picky eater.

 

Just wanted to hear from others whose birds never really got on the birdy bread train.

 

Thanks.

Greyce loves it, I add all the things she won't eat, but needs and all the things she loves to bribe her to eat it. I mix it up in all sorts of things. We even made a bird bread omlet the other morning. I decided to have a fancy brunch so all the critters got something special too!

Maybe try dicing it up really small and mixing it with a little scrambled egg and organic babyfood (sweet potato?) to moisten it up and make it stick together a bit?

Try smearing it with some of the favored sweet potato mashed up, my Josey loves sweet potatoes too.

Have you tried to crush up fruity pellets in it? Mine wont touch it unless I do! My DYH amazon is VERY picky sometimes but will eat anything if he sees us eating it...try eating some in front of her!! *Oh come on its not that bad, actually its good, just ignore the seeds!* But since they are flock eaters they see you eating it and they think hey I want that instead of what I have!!
