I have had my sweet girl for a week! She’s a beautiful pearly pied who was weaned off hand feeds 2 weeks ago. Not sure how old she is but I’m thinking about 4 months. Not sure why I think that! Haha!
Anyway, the vet said she’s a girl due to horizontally striped feathers under her tail. Because we are assuming that she is a girl, the vet kinda scared me about egg laying and all the extra requirements. One of those she said was important was for her to eat pellets. So far, Hedwig doesn’t like any of the pellets I’ve tried to give her. I’ve offered broccoli, green beans, grapes, cantaloupe. And Hedwig won’t eat any of it! She only likes her seed. She seems to taste things but not eat them or she just doesn’t try it! I’m worried that I won’t be able to transition her or that she won’t try things and eat a variety of things! Any helpful tips? She’s super interactive and is already doing some positive reinforcement training but I want to do the best by her as far as food goes! Thanks for your help!!
