I know many people here struggle with or have struggled with medicating their birds. This is the method I developed for Andre. I bought some small lidded plastic containers, the kind restaurants use for take out condiments. I put a small amount approximately 1/4 teaspoon of palm oil in the container, then mixed in the medications. Then I put in a small amount of crushed nutriberries, and stirred it all together. I put them in the refrigerator. This way I could make up several doses at a time and have them ready. When I gave them to him they were kind of like little cookies. Andre ate them right up. He got his medication plus a little extra nutrition without any drama or fuss, and without having to be toweled.
This should work for any bird who likes palm oil and nutriberries.
