Yes I have been giving him new seed ever morning with pellets mixed in. The people who I picked him up from were giving him a whole cup of sun flower seeds. Probably about 2-3 tablespoons in there! I took that out and limited it to just a few. I have been giving him a combo of fruits and veggies, just to try to get him to eat something fresh. I honestly don't even know if he has ever been given any sort of fresh diet. The people who had him didn't seem to know much except that he was only adequately cared for in the last few years of his owners life. No attention or out of cage time, no toys... pretty much just kept alive by feeding a seed diet.
It's awful but things are changing for him now.
He's definitely warming up! He did start eating today (seed other than millet, and hopefully some pellet) but not fresh anything. He's been playing with his bells a little and even came out of his cage for a little while. I played some music and he seemed to like it. Was dancing a little :)
Oh, and I emailed Volkmans to see if they would send some samples. There's a good thread in another part of the forum about contacting some of the companies and getting a TON of free stuff. I forget where exactly I found it, but it's a good idea!
I'll definitely try and get some more pictures of him. I'm waiting for him to come out of the cage some more!
