want to improve diet

having a slight problem with my TAg i've never had before....

 

although Jacko technically eats a good diet of tropican pellets, i really wish i could put him on a more varied and interesting diet. i want to do this because he has started to turn up his nose at pellets if he has access to other things, so really the only way to get him to gobble those pellets is to give him nothing but, and that's not fair... kinda like forcing a kid to eat brussel sprouts by feeding him nothing else.

i want him to be able to eat some seeds but also eat a good diet. actually, upon having to taste these pellets to tempt the tiel a while back i don't blame him for forgoing the pellets, they're bland and pretty gross. (case in point when i bought some beak appetit 'cinnamon sunrise' to mix with his pellets he practically inhaled it)

Does anyone have any mixes that will provide a good diet i can prep on the weekend to serve throughout the week for my birds, preferably that i can mix with pellets (jacko is a plucker so although i'd love to buy some of those flavoured pellets i don't in case it is a food issue). i am currently planning my schedule for college so i can schedule an extra hour or two to serve it and clean up and give everyone new toys and baths before i leave.

 

oh, forgot to mention, can i substitue nuts for something else-- allergies in the house. also, in my area, i cannot get harrisons or any other the other fancier brands with ordering and shipping. however, all of the hagen line and zupreem are readily available to me.<br><br>Post edited by: TinyTimneh, at: 2008/08/07 03:38

I see from your other post you have found a new pellet,good luck with that.

 

Here is the ingredients that are in my seed mix i feed my greys,they get this along side,veggies,pulses,fruit & a tropical soak mix ( papaya,mango,coconut,water shrimp,banana,pineapple etc ) they have in the mornings.

 

you dont have to feed nuts,try something like grapes for a treat .
