HOW TO GET YOUR BIRD TO EAT VEGGIES | Make Your Bird Eat Vegetables

[@Jade-f6b]

My conures will never try a new food unless they see me eat it first🤣

[@leahastra]

My birds loved lettuce from day one when I started feeding them as time went on I started giving more veggies they love fruits and veggies

Hi! I'm a new bird owner, I just recently got 2 budgies and planning on getting a Conure. I've been watching your videos and they're so helpful! In fact, this video helped my Budgie to try a taste of green beans!

Dont get one until you get to know about birds more, trust me dont

[@tomferrier6143]

I had no idea some birds won't eat veggies. I've only had mine for a year and a half, but they eat pellets, veggies, pretty much anything offered. I've switched their pellet type 3 times, attempting to find the right balance between nutrition and waste, and they never refused to eat. (Started with Zupreem FruitBlend, switched to Top's for nutrition, and then Hari Tropican Alternative to stay healthy but with way less wasted food. They seem to be willing to eat any veggies and fruit offered (carrots, leafy greens, broccoli and cauliflower, herbs, berries, banana, etc). Sounds like I got really lucky! They just love eating!

Great video! Your greencheeks are soooo cute! ❣️

[@idahoe7581]

Because of Australia's current bad spring weather, all my garden veggies are seeding. Turns out my conure loves the flowers and seeds from kale,coriander, parsley etc. We just walk around the garden in the morning and I pick her off bits of plant to eat between her screams at the local native cockatoos. 😀

[@ArtoriasDSII]

I just got a Nanday Conure yesterday and have been loving him. Watched these videos for ages before getting a bird to help me understand them and know what to feed them, etc etc. I love him so much already and have been wanting a bird for ages. He's sitting in my room next to me rn with the cage open so if he wants to leave he can. He's so cute :D

[@HZ-fg9sf]

When I adopted a 5yr old conure who didn't have much experience with fresh veggies and primarily ate fruity pellets and fruit, safe to say he didn't like veggies. After I quickly replaced the fruity pellets with non-sugary ones because that was an easy switch (and I didn't want him to go hungry when he was experimenting with veg and trying out bird chop), this is what worked for me on the veggie front: When giving new foods, cut it up into small bits that resemble their pellets. Large bits or a whole piece of anything can be daunting for a smaller bird who doesn't know what it is. My bird was more likely to try it when it was chopped up. Other than corn, peas, and peppers, carrots usually are one of the easier and healthiest veg to get fruit lovers to eat since for a veg, it has some natural sugars that make it more appealing. Green veg was a harder sell. When eating it in front of him didn't work, sometimes I pretend I have a yummy treat in my hand and feed it to him directly in tiny bite size bits, instead of just including it in the chop. When they reject a veg, keep on trying. For some green vegs, it took 6 times for him to start eating it and not outfight rejecting it. Then it was a lot easier to incorporate. Oh and try different parts of the veg. For example, my lovie loves the florets of broccoli but my conure didn't like them, instead he prefers the stalk which is funny but works perfectly. And experiment around with raw vs cooked. Good luck!

[@darcygrace863]

how your channel has grown I have been here since 100 subs, and now you have nearly 20k good job keep going and about the veggies, I gave him veggies since he came to my home, but he did come for a pet store and they only gave him seed, so it was hard, but I mixed the veg with his seed and he got a tast of the veg and he loved it.

[@FlyingFids]

thank you so so much!! 💕 getting off of seeds is hard but you and your bird did it, great job and thanks for sharing!

Hi, Won! Love your videos!🐥💕

[@UnavailableOffline]

A fun tip to get ur bird to eat veggies especially if they don’t like them even at the sight of them is to hide very small veggie bits into sunflower seed shells, just to get it into your birds system. This should be a last resort though because we don’t want to stress our birds out if they can get stressed by this. But, I tried this with my sun conure and it works wonderfully

[@Ahmed-p5v6i]

Smart

[@adrianc3472]

I'm getting a bird tonight and I'm looking for all the tips I can get lmao. I had 2 parakeets before but they were extremely picky and nervous from their previous home we rescued them from, so I'm trying to make this next lil buddy happier :D

[@galeem713]

Cutting a corn on the cob into 1” pieces and skewering them onto the wall of the cage let’s them play and eat.

[@x-spanded]

Corn doesn't have nutrients

[@a.c.w.1927]

Thank you for this video! Currently working on trying to get my 5 month old lovebird to eat veggies and it is very challenging to say the least! I’m gonna try some of the tips you suggested!! I love your channel btw! 🦜❤️😌

[@elektrapapakosma8144]

Any updates? My conure still doesn't eat veggies after a year. I've tried different ones and different ways of cutting them. Frozen and fresh but still nothing..

[@lynniia]

@@elektrapapakosma8144 If your Conure is on a pallet diet and only has seeds as a reward or nuts or something maybe you can try this tip: (I got it from someone I thought it was a wonderful idea but had to learn him to eat his pallets first which was a pain tbh I'm also still learning him to eat his damn veggies😅 ) Make a special bowl or plate for your bird. Like add his fav things like sunflower seeds or almond or any yummy treats and add your veggies that you want him to try eating. He/she will prob search for the yummy treats and will try the veggies in the meantime as well. And ofc try the different sized and textures too! It prob takes a LOT of patients if your birb is picky (I have the same problem) but eventually they will learn to eat it and never give up! 💕

[@elektrapapakosma8144]

@@lynniia I'll try that. One thing that has worked a bit it's crushing the pellets into a powder (we do that anyway only way he eats them) defrost the chop add a little water and mix it together. It has the same consistency as the crushed pellets alone do but with some bigger pieces of veggies here and there. I take him to his play stand and pretend i am eating and slowly let him have some, i continue pretending i eat from his bowl until he doesn't want to eat more.

[@elektrapapakosma8144]

@@lynniia also unrelated but any tips on how to make him start play with toys? He has quite a few, different types too but doesn't touch them.

[@lynniia]

​@@elektrapapakosma8144 I will also recommend putting some pellets in whole or half with the powder so he also tries to eat them whole. Also if you haven't already keep his waterbowl next to his bowl where the pellets are at. Mine likes to eats some pallets with the water to dip them in there. You can also put his fav treats in some foraging toys or any toys where it is possible so he can search for the yummy goodness and he will also interact with the toys in the meantime. And change the toys to different ones after one week having them in the cage for example: I put the woven taco in his cage for a week and after that I switch it up to a bird kabob and do that with all toys or most of them so it doesn't get boring. My bird only touches his woven taco with shredded paper in it after a few months and destroys it after a few days or he will never touch it at all (He also sleeps next to it ALL the time) He also likes some toys with natural rope that he can destroys and some times he also never touch it at all. BUT he LOVES his foot toys.

[@alanking1461]

My budgies love wet lettuce

[@GraceT]

I feed my flock of 9 the birdtricks seasonal feeding system. For some reason the combo of veggies in their recipes are really good for convincing picky eaters to eat veggies. I've also found that by simply leaving the chop in their cage, and removing their food for at least an hour or two, they're more likely to at least give vegetables a try. Often it's from boredom when they finally try it. My blind birds are the hardest to get into vegetables because birds are very visual eaters. It took me 3 months to get my blind IRN to eat chop, and now shes one of my most consistent chop eaters.

[@idahoe7581]

Hi Grace. I know your comment is from ages ago, but did you think the Birdtricks feeding system was worth the money? I ask because I am contemplating buying it, and for me it will be $65 Australian dollars. My partner will be annoyed at me if it isn't worth it! 😒

[@hanneo.d.b.9831]
