My Mischief is a seed lover. I've been slowly reducing the amount of seeds she gets and mixing in veggies, fruits, and color pellets. She won't touch the color pellets, but during a routine visit to the vet, they suggested to try the non-colored pellets. So, I zipped over to the bird store and bought a brand that the vet recommended. I mixed in some pellets with a small amount of seeds (about 5-10%), and checked the bowl in the morning. All the seeds had been cracked, but I didn't see any indication that the pellets had been messed with. There were only a few on the bottom of her house. For the record I have no problem getting her to eat fruit, and she loves spaghetti. I was going to try and mix in some pellets with her fruit bowl next time and see how that goes. I am looking for tips to help her get off her huge seed kick and start to eat the pellets with more of the nutrients that she needs. Thanks for reading!

I have the same problem with Tyco. She has a habit of waking up around 5am hungry I don't get them up until 8am so what I do is at bedtime I take all the food out of her cage and leave nothing except her pellets and water and I hear her munching on pellets every morning at 5 am then she goes back to sleep until 8am least this way I know she's eating some of them along with the rest of her food
