  1. well ine owuldnt eat anythin!! like he was like urs.. and so i owuld offer himt he foods whole, but hed fly away or crawl up my arm, so id give him some crushed almonds and he loved it! so i took an apple and cut it to about the same size as i had the almonds, so he was eating the almonds and i offered him the apple and he ate it and wanted MORE! so i have to cut his food up! so i give him carrot and almonds and apple.. he likes those small but h**l eat a thing of dripping wet lettuce whole! so give em time! but id recomend trying nuts first! they lovem!


  2. Empty his seed cup at night.  In the morning fill it with mixed, warmed frozen, chopped vegies.  Express delight to him about the wonderful yummies.  

    A couple hours later, mix in his regular seed to the vegie mix.  Continue this until you see him eating the vegies.

    Millet is candy anyway, so good he does not eat it.

  3. If bird seed is the only food he has neen used to he will naturally go for this,any new introduction to diet has to be made gradually  all we can do is  patently stand by until each new food is  tried  & accepted .
