Leaf was on an all seed diet, basically, when he was adopted from his previous family. the woman who had him before I got him got him started on pellets but he seems to only really like the Tropican while I'm trying to switch him over to Harrison's as well as getting him used to fresh veggies. later today, the girls (my dogs) will be going up and I'm going to try to "trick" him into eating veggies and fruits by eating them with him. or should I change up the way I do things? like just put it in his cage?
I've only had to wean one other bird off of seed and that was my stubborn Cockatiel who screamed and pitched a fit and just generally was a miserable, grumpy man until he got over himself and realised: hey! millet is not everything in life! but apparently millet was like crack to him.
so, should I pretend to eat the stuff or actually eat it with him out or should I put some in a bowl in his cage? right now he's in a small travel cage until his home cage arrives in the mail (idk when that will be).
