IRN stop eating

Hi everyone
My ring neck has decided to stop eating her pellets and fruits for the last few days. She wants to eat what we eat but only for a min. We have given her just seeds which she seems to eat but only for a short time. Is there something seriously wrong with her or is this just a temporary thing? What can I do?

I have learned that if i want my IRNs to eat healthy I have to eat the same stuff I want them to eat.. which means lots of fruits and vegetables...

One of them wants to eat 'real' food with me and i do cheat a little.. and that cheating has spoiled him to a point.

There are times when both of my birds go for a couple of days without eating much. You just ignore it. They won't let themselves starve. As it is with you, some days you're hungrier than others.

My Alex hen does not like eating on her own but waits for me to sit down, she keep slifting her head to make sure l am still there! If l go out she gets really hungry but waits for my return before catching upon her eating.
