Hi guys Ive had baby for about 10 days now he is about 13 weeks old and is doin fine and has settled in nicely now , guy in pet shop said to give him cockatiel mix with parrot mix but i noticed he flicks out all the small seed in cockatiel mix and only eats bigger seeds in parrot mix do u think it would be ok to just give him more parrot mix less cockatiel or does he need something thats in the smaller seeds :? also he doesnt really touch any of the fruit or veg I give him he did at first then suddenly decided not to bother eating any of it :? is there anything I can do to tempt him to eat his fruit and veg

make up a platter of fruit & veges then sit down near him & start eating!!!
garentee it will get him curious every time ive gotten a bird thats not used to anything other than seed thats what i do
then when hes curious offer some to him from your plate
according to irns it ALWAYS!!!!!!! tastes better from your plate

hahaha Bec, it doesn't always have to be on a plate to taste good......apparently food in mouth is just as tasty!!!! :shock: :roll: :lol:
