Why does my umbrella cockatoo pick through his food,find what he wants, then rubs it on his wings and throws it into his cage ? This is good food, (rhoudybush and zupreem) , but he will eat Hartz , mostly safflower seeds.

often birds have preferences on what foods they like, and some are more picky than others. If you're having problems with your bird not getting the nutrients it needs, I would suggest looking into the BirdTricks website. It is a husband-wife team, and they do a lot on training birds and helping them to eat better food, be less picky, etc. Hope this Helps!
