Hello everyone! I recently got a baby quaker parrot (2 months old) the person I got it from was feeding him just seeds and Maseca (a corn flour treated with hydrated lime). Having read a lot about a healthy parrot diet I knew I had to change his diet and start implementing veggies and pellets. I started with Harrison's adult lifetime fine pellets. She was not interested in them so I had to turn it into a fine powder using a mortar and then mix it with water to create a paste, then would hand-feed her and she loved it. I put the pellets in her plate along with some seeds but she never eats the pellets. I took the seeds away for a day or two and noticed she started loosing weight so I put them back on. Anyways, any suggestions as to how I could get her interested in the pellets would help, but the real concern I have is with her droppings. I've attached a pic and would appreciate if you guys could tell me whether it looks okay or not. I got her on Sept 13th so I've had her for 18 days. Thanks.
