I did NOT post this in the emergency section, as I don't feel it is one and hopefully will NOT become one.
Skittles, for those who don't know, is my 19 year old senior lovebird. She has been on a Hagen pellet diet for years and I've never had issues with her trying new foods. Since Piper (meyers) has come home, Skittles has been obsessing about Piper's food (it's a mixed blend with pellets, fruit, seeds etc). I only JUST clued in today after realizing Skittles hasn't eaten her food for almost 2 days and has been foraging in Piper's, that she LOVES the un shelled sunflower seeds in the new pellet mix.
I have removed Piper's food from her access and monitored her, and she is still not eating her food.
So I've been working on moving Piper to Seth's Zupreem diet, so I am running VERY low on her existing food blend.
I don't want Skittles to start having an only sunflower seed diet (for obvious reasons). What can I do to help her back onto her food or even a new brand?! (My avian vet has Harrison's available)
