Oh,I know,many on the board get irate at me in particular,I live
in Fl,so I have an abundance of veggies and such year round where
they have to pay triple in the winter :)
(Of course you may not hear from me for 2-3 weeks at a time if a
hurricane knocks the power out,still trying to decide if it's a
good trade-off)

As far as veggies,just try alot of different things.Some like
them cooked,some like them cold.Certain birds won't eat anything
mushy at all.It takes alot of experimenting and waste to get it
right.
Basically I take a shotgun effect of throwing more food at
them,all healthy,then they could possibly eat,and this works for
me,because I have other animals and nothing gets wasted,really.So
they get to experiment alot,and get a good variety.Your bird's
just like you,some days he may be in the mood for Okra,some days
maybe not.Cookie (my B&G) and Laurie (daughter) have both a
shared fetish for chicken wings,it's frightening to watch them go
through a couple dozen at a time!
