Hi, I recently got my first bird two weeks ago (a lovebird of about 8 weeks old) and he used to seem pretty happy. That was until two days ago when we had to switch him from his old seed mix onto new ones because the old seed mix the breeder had left him was starting to run out. He didn’t take to any of the new mixes or pellets we tried (zumpreme sensible lovebird seed mix, tropican pellets and all living thing premium pellets) and has started to only spend his time in or out of his cage looking for either millet or his old mix in a really frantic way and stepping up only to receive millet (and then stepping down to step up again). He also pushes all the new seeds to the side of his bowl and doesn’t even eat them out of my hand anymore. If i knew what his old mix was id of course try to find it for him but unfortunately the breeder didn’t tell us the name of his mix and I don’t have a picture of what it looked like. Any suggestions to help take to the new foods? Im beging to worry he’s going to starve. Also is constantly looking around for food normal or does it mean he’s not eating enough?
