Hi all!
So I got my little parrotlwt untamed from a breeder 1 week ago tomorrow. He's beautiful and me and the kids and husband love him. He went out of his cage fir the first time yesterday and he got a bit stuck but with a bit of patience he let me help him and stroke him and carry him back to the cage.
Today he wouldn't let me near him again which is fine. I know it all takes time. Until the kids go back to school he will be shy with all the noise. He starting to recognise his name.
Anyway... that wasn't my question..
He doesn't like vegetables!! I have tried all sorts. He only really like cucumber and demolishes that and he will eat a bit of apple. But no other fruit or veg or greens! Is there anything I should be doing to encourage this? I have a new larger perch coming on Monday so will try a larger bowl. I have tried chopped and unchopped.
He didn't touch the peppers, green beans, broccoli, spinach, Parsley, strawberry, blueberries, nectarine, aubergine or banana
I tried giving one at a time. I tried mixing a few together. Just he likes seed, water and millet. But he's not crazy about the millet either!
I know he's small so maybe he just has a small appetite?
Any help is appreciated! Thank you.
Oh yes. He is 15 weeks!
Thanks

Try different cuts or even large chunks!
