At 73yo I still don't know it all yet

Just learned something pretty cool. Never thought of it before but it does make sense. Taking equal amounts of pellet bird food to hot water it's possible to get a bird to eat pellets if they usually don't. It changes up the consistency and smell to make it more interesting.
I tried it on Farlie and it worked! I tried one Tablespoon hot water to one Tablespoon Tropimix then let it cool down some, stirred well and gave it to him. He spent about 15 minutes or so messing with it and even ate some. This morning I watched him eat some of his dry mix which he wouldn't touch yesterday.

Give it a try, guys, if you haven't already. It worked on my end.

Taco used to love mash made with hot water and pellets! Such an easy way to add some textural variety to their diet.
I never thought to try it on a pellet-resistant fid, that's such a great idea!

I roughly grind pellets into powder and serve a wet mush of it to Burt every day- he loves it. He eats pellets fine but he really looks forward to his afternoon warm pellet paste mush.

@Budgiessss , maybe this could help?

I've made the mush and added some dry pellets to it so they would get used to eating it normal. Just make sure you dont leave it out all day
