Post: Baby Vos Eclectus Is Reluctant to Eat Her Fruits and Veggies

Posted by Tracey on 7/03/07

We have a baby Vos Eclectus (recently weaned) that is being
awfully darn stubborn about eating her fruits and veggies.
She really, really likes those little fruit flavored
cockatiel pellets and papaya, but that's about it. We've
tried Kiwi, oranges, apples, bananas, corn on the cob,
tomatoes, eggs, spaghetti, carrots, and two different types
of peppers. She'll nibble on things (mostly the peppers and
carrots) but most of it just ends up all over my floor. I
realize she's just a baby and it will take time for her to
pick up a taste for all of these things, but I also know
that it's not a good thing for her to just eat pellets as
they may or may not cause toe tapping and the such.

So, any ideas on how to get her to ditch the pellets and
eat her greens?
