hello, i now have 4 budgies and daily i'm try to give them fresh fruit and veggies they just turn their lil beaks up at it without trying so then i went to canned nothing even frozen still nothing....i'm wasting an aweful lot of food here and was wondering what is a budgies chocolate? being what can i offer they can resist but is still healthy?

keep trying and only use small amounts so you don't waste so much.

 

I usually cut up just a teaspoon of different veggies and then add 2 teaspoon of seed and give it them Pretty in the morning till afternoon. I do it this way because before he wouldn't touch it. In the beginning I would also put crunch up a couple millet balls to get him going.

 

For about a month he ate around all the good stuff. The kids would laugh and say mom Pretty is throwing all the good stuff out, he doesn't eat his salad why should we .

 

I will clip Kale to the side or Spinach and the bugger will eat off all the water droplets, so that doesn't work but he like the water (Laughing out loud).

 

Anyways, it took a good month before he started to try anything. Another good way it to cut up alot and then you can freeze it yourself, so you don't waste either.

 

What they will like best is unknown, and remember to them in the wild anything they eat that they don't know could be poison so that is why they are so stubborn on eating new thing.

 

Off topic, how is your rescued tiel doing?

Honey coated things and millet seem to be a favorite treat
