The husband and I had fun picking out fruits and veggies to try tonight. We brought home red, yellow and orange sweet peppers, an apple, spinach, parsley, and yellow and orange tomatoes. We have carrots at home already. Baby is pretty investigative if I hold things up for her and she's gotten a few good hacks at a carrot and a pepper. She kind of attacks them, but I figure even if she gets just a teeny bit on her beak or whatever, its better than nothing. I left a chunk of carrot in the pair's food bowl and it looks like they were chewing on it, so that's a good sign. When i got home, I made up a forage packet with some pepper in it along with their seeds. They demolished it but its kinda tough to tell if they actually ate any of the pepper. There is a little chunk way over on the other side of the cage, so I suppose that's promising too. Baby likes to chew on my fingernails, so I figured if I put some good stuff under there it would be a good way to get a little bit of it in her. I know, gross, but what else should I try? What are good ways of starting birds on fresh foods?

 

I'm gonna make the birdie bread tomorrow and see how they like that too.

Sounds like you are doing fine. Just remember to be patient. It may or may not take a while for them to actually like the stuff. Good luck!

keep up the good work, they sound like they will have no problems with the yummy veggies
