Hi guys! I just got a new baby sun conure last Thursday and my vet appointment isn’t until next Saturday so I wanted to see if anyone had diet advice.
We’re progressing quickly with the trust building. She will step onto my hand when I offer it and she likes hanging out under my hoodie. She’s a very cuddly bird.
She hatched November 17th and was weaned onto Zupreem pellets. The breeder says she also likes eating apple and millet.
I have tried giving her millet, but she mostly ignores it. If she does eat it, she only picks at it a little before going back to ignoring it. I have offered her various dried fruits and a fresh banana and a couple of nuts. She will take these into her beak and then drop them. If I offer them a second time they are ignored. I have seen her vigorously chowing down on pellets, but I can’t get her to eat anything else! Will this pass? If it doesn’t pass and it turns out I have a picky birb, do I need to worry about the nutritional value of the pellets alone? I haven’t tried vegetables or apples yet and I’m picking some up this afternoon.
