I am getting beyond frustrated with feeding my Paco. The first 2 months he was afraid of the veggies and fruit and then ate pretty much what I gave him. He would toss the leafy greens and still does. GRRRR Now he has decided from day to day he doesn't like anything. Sometimes he likes grapes the next day he doesn't, same with banana's. Loved red peppers, now he won't touch them. What is a parrot mom to do?
I was weaning him off of bird seed, he was on Hartz Parrot good, (cringe) I was giving him small amounts of Harvest Blend, with Lafeber's Nutri Berries and Avid Cakes, used to through the Avi Cakes but is now eating them. He still gooble up the Harvest Blend, no peanuts or sunflower seeds, he likes the small white seeds, safflower? That is why I posted previously is he getting enough to eat. I tried to soak lentils they never sprouted, will see if I can find a health food store in this country bumpkin area I live in. He accidently ate a pellet that had grapes squished over them.
So my search in nutrisous food continues. What about Higgins Safflower Gold? No peanuts or sunflower seeds, the web has mixed reviews.
Oh help me ole wise ones here in the group, I want to make sure he is fed healthy food.
He is coming out of his shell, starting to sit out on top of cage every day and is looking around the room more, sliding down the sides of his cage to get a better view of his world and is quite a chatter box some days.
