I have had Gordon (previously Fred, but I changed my mind) for four days. He's 4-5 months old. I love him to pieces. He's so sweet and gentle. He has 'bit' me a few times (it didn't hurt, or break the skin I'm still waiting for a real bite) but overall he's such a wonderful bird! But he doesn't play with his toys. He sits on his rope perch when he's not hanging out with people. And I don't know what food to give him? He likes apples and pistachios. And he picks the sunflower and millet seeds out of his food and eats them. But he doesn't eat too much of anything else. I have tried (banana (he nibbled but I don't think he liked how sticky it was), cooked broccoli (again, nibbles but no real consumption) pineapple (which he wouldn't even taste) strawberries (which he ate some of but didn't finish) and cooked cauliflower (which I think he did eat, but I didn't see him do it). He just likes apples and pistachios. No other nuts. And I am not sure what else to offer him. Or how to offer it to him. Should I give him big chunks? Should they be small slices? Should I try celery? Carrots? I'm really approaching this by offering him things I like, but maybe he would prefer things I don't really eat. And how much should I be giving him? He eats about a fourth of an apple a day. And he would eat all of it probably but I don't know how much is too much. I don't want to offer him so much food and have him waste it all, but I want to make sure he gets enough. I tried doing all the necessary research, but reading about something and applying it in real life is not so easy. I appreciate any and all advice. I want to take good care of my baby and give him his best life.
