Picky Eater

[vgladden40]

Ugh! My 4 month old CAG is major picky! He loves eggs but his poop has got a lot of white in it so no more this week....I have tried soaking his pellets in a little bit of cranberry juice but he's not having any of that... any ideas on getting him to try new things? Right now he doesn't even eat seeds! I offer him a bunch of options--he loves mac and cheese and lasagna, but that can't be good every day....<br><br>Post edited by: vgladden40, at: 2009/04/08 07:06

Greys can tend to be quite picky. Try different ways of presenting the veggies like shredding them, chopping, sometimes serve cooked and warm, sometimes raw. Have you tried spoon feeding warm baked sweet potato? Most greys love this, also oatmeal is usually a big hit. Keep trying new things even if the bird doesn't eat it right off- eat some in front of him and don't offer him any til he is begging for it- this makes it more like a game and makes it intriguing to them. Sometimes it will take a while but eventually they might try something and decide they love it. Good luck and don't give up!
