BIRDSFeathered Friends

my bird is stubborn towards veggies and fruits any help?

my budgie loves lettuce but my cocky wont eat any veggies. iv tried carrot, grapes ( seedless) ect. any tips?

This is an article i wrote for a forum, its aimed towards larger birds but the tips would apply to smaller birds.

Continue to feed his normal seed etc.. never starve a bird to make him eat fruit or veggies..

Many birds are picky or reluctant to try new foods, so i thought i would compile a list of suggestions that they may like to try to encourage their birds to eat a healthy balanced diet.Please feel free to add any additional tips you have.

The crafty approach – Try adding your birds favourite treat to new foods,you can push the treat into new foods & as your grey tries to retrieve the treat he will have to pick pass the new food.

Try offering new foods in the morning along with your birds regular food,Birds are hungriest in the morning & may be more willing to try new foods out.

Birds are social creatures,try eating a new food with your bird watching you,they may be more inclined to want to have a taste if they see you enjoying it.

Be persistent keep offering new foods everyday,even if your bird just throws it on the floor at least he has touched the new texture.It may take months for your grey to accept a new food .

A kebab stick, specially made bird kebab sticks can be purchased, Add different coloured fruit & vegetables & leave it for a few hours,as the bird investigates he will more than likely touch the food.

Presentation- Some greys love chunk’s of food to hold while others will enjoy finely chopped or mashed food.Offer some foods cooked & served warm, while others for example carrots can be offered raw.Discover how your grey likes his food.
