I have four budgies at home. Two of them were only offered seed at the pet store, and the other two were feed only seed at their old home. I want to switch them over to a home cooked diet such as pasta, vegetables, fruit, greens, pellets, and only occasionally seed. I know that an all seed diet is like a death diet, and I really want (and need) to switch their diet around, but they are SO PICKY! I give them seed with pellets in it, and when they eat, they leave all the pellets behind! I have tried sooo many things to try and get them to eat other stuff. Feeding them out of my hand, making the food look like a toy, giving them only non-seed food for supper, offering them pellets again, etc.. They just don't bother to even try the new food. I have had two of my birds for about 2 years now, and the other two for about a year. I've tried to get their diet switched around ever since I got them, but they refuse the new food. Please help me!
