My baby lovebird is 3 months old, and she refuses to eat anything except seeds. We switched her to a food that has no millet or sunflower seeds.
Recently, we started giving her pellets and gradually mixing them. We're to the point where if she runs out of the seeds, she refuses to eat the pellets and yanks off the top of her food bowl and throws it on the floor. Then when we go to handle her, she bites and is super territorial and angry. We also put fresh food in her cage daily and she doesn't go near it.
I've tried eating in front of her and then giving her food, and I've seen her taste fruit but she never actually eats it. She just sticks her tongue on it and pulls away. I make sure to not give her any red fruits like raspberries, apples, or strawberries because she's terrified of the color red.
I've been told that the green in her poop signifies vitamin deficiencies from her not eating fruits and veggies. So that is making me even more worried. I know she's only three months old, but is there anything I can do to try and get her to eat something other than seeds? What happens if she never eats anything else?
